Foreign Marriage Divorce in the UK Explained

The end of a significant relationship is usually an emotional period of time. If you were married in another country and are now separating in the UK, coming to terms with an unfamiliar legal system might add to these difficulties. In some circumstances, you might even need to overcome additional difficulties such as the language barrier to obtain the help you need.

Furthermore, every relationship contains its own unique set of questions. These range from wondering if divorce in the UK is a possibility if you were married overseas, to contemplating what happens regarding child care and financial arrangements. Because the answers to these questions will vary from one relationship to another, it’s important to obtain legal advice from an established firm that specialises in international divorce.

We can answer your most pressing questions, offer insights into where you could apply to get divorced, and uncover which jurisdictions best serve your goals.

Our Collaboration Explained

When you instruct Lowry Legal upon your divorce, you will have the option to use a financial planner to assist with decision-making. Although there is no obligation for you to use ERF in this context, they will be one of your available options. Don’t worry if you have any questions about the process, as everything will be explained clearly during onboarding.

Generally speaking, the process involves collective meetings that should establish your goals throughout the divorce process and beyond. These conversations entail cash flow planning — with practical illustrations of current and projected settlement options, education around complex features like pensions, and post-settlement planning sessions.

All of this is designed to help you create your own future as you move with confidence into your next chapter.
