Portland, OR family law attorney Jessica Flint talks about international divorce. An international divorce is a broad concept that typically refers to a divorce in which the parties have significant connections or relationships with one or more countries. When a divorcing couple has ties to multiple countries, several factors must be considered. These factors include where the parties are primarily residing, where the children reside, where the parties are domiciled, where the marriage took place, and whether they have spent significant time abroad. Other important considerations include whether the parties own assets or real property in multiple countries, their citizenship and immigration status, and whether they have a marital or foreign agreement that dictates where the divorce should be held or which law should apply. These various international elements contribute to the complexities of handling an international divorce.
