LAWYER ON VANCOUVER ISLAND AND NANAIMO KNOWLEDGABLE IN INTERNATIONAL DIVORCES
International Family Law is a complex and important aspect of family law. With globalization people are travelling to many countries for employment or education. In the course of this international travel, people are forming personal relationships which may complicate separation and divorce. The parties may be residents of one country but citizens of another. Spouses may be of different nationalities.
When these relationships break down, it raises complex legal issues for the family courts.
Some factors to consider:
Which country's laws apply?
Protection of children with parents in two different jurisdictions
The effect of ownership of property outside Canada
Enforcement of rights to support
