Cross-border Disputes/Jurisdiction Disputes

Whether the English courts have jurisdiction to make orders regarding a family, whether that is in relation to divorce, finances or children, is always a complex one.

This is always something that needs to be considered before making an application, whilst engaging in negotiations, or when responding to an application.

Jurisdictional disputes need to be dealt with as quickly as possible, and it is important that you take advice from a specialist international lawyer. Our specialist solicitors will be able to advise you on the issue of jurisdiction before an application is made, or if you are the respondent, whether the jurisdiction needs to be challenged.

If you would like to discuss this matter with one of our specialist solicitors, please contact us on 020 8290 7341 or 020 8290 0333 to make an appointment.
