It is an international divorce when you apply for a divorce in a country other than your country of residence or permanent residence. This situation may occur because you live abroad for work, or because you and your ex end up living in different countries or because you have different nationalities.
If your situation involves two or more countries, you must:
Find out in which countries you can get a divorce, and If you can choose from more than one country, find out which one will give you the best result.
The law on divorce varies greatly from country to country. So if you are thinking about getting a divorce abroad, it is very important that you get legal advice from a lawyer who is an expert in divorce law in that country.
You do not have to get a divorce in the country where you were married or living when you or your ex decided to end your marriage or civil union. In many countries, but not all, you can get a divorce in the country where either of you is now established, as long as you acknowledge that you were married in the first place. So many couples will find that they can divorce in more than one country.
You can only get a divorce in another country if:
- Your marriage is legally recognized in the country where you want to file for divorce.
- You can show that you or your ex has a connection to the country where you want to apply for a divorce.
To get a divorce in another country, you must show that you or your ex has a connection with it. A court only has the right and power to hear your case if it can prove this connection. The law calls this “jurisdiction. Different countries in the world have different rules for determining whether their courts have the legal power to try a case when other countries may be involved. Therefore, it is very important that you get legal advice from a lawyer who is experienced in divorce law in the country where you are thinking about getting a divorce.

Mihai Barsan2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Alfonso Soler during the purchase of my apartment, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise and attention to details. Is “Clear as water” (as he likes to say) that he is devoted and involved in everything he does. Alfonso walked me through every step of the process, ensuring I understood all the legal terms and documents. His communication was prompt, clear, and thorough, which made me feel confident and informed throughout the entire transaction. What really stood out was Alfonso Soler ability to anticipate potential issues before they became problems, making the whole process much smoother. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and his guidance helped me make informed decisions every step of the way. Everything started as hiring a lawyer,how it ended for me? Owner of the apartment and having a good friend ! I highly recommend Alfonso Soler to anyone seeking legal assistance in property transactions!

Mejor llamar primero antes de entrar de la calle. Aunque haya carteles de varias propiedades en la ventana en venta, cuando entre la puerta abierta a la calle a preguntar sobre uno de los pisos publicados, el que estaba ahí me pregunto al entrar, "¿quíen es usted?" y "¿de dónde vino?" Cuando le dije que había un piso en los carteles que me interesaba, me intento convencer sin detalles concretas que no vale la pena porque el propietario de ese piso tiene unos requisitos extraños y pocos fiables. Trato 0% profesional y, por las demás reseñas, parece que tiene suficiente negocio con ell@s, y no quiere que nuev@s clientes le lleguen. Igual tendrás otra experiencia llamando o hablando en inglés u otro idioma, pero recomiendo evitar a todo coste si buscas piso por la zona. David Michael2025-01-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Alfonso Soler since 2021, we initially met after I googled COSTA BLANCA REAL ESTATE and started making calls. I was struck by the idea to purchase a property in Spain; As an American living in San Diego (visiting for the first time) From the onset I found him insightful and honest, we got to work immediately - Alfonso was the right person to guide me through my questions, His understanding of how to execute and close deals in Spain is top notch. I viewed dozens of properties over the following week, Alfonso’s knowledge of the region was helpful in finding a property that matched my needs. After closing the first (6 months later)Alfonso had identified another opportunity to acquire a renovation project which was next on the list and we closed it - Looking forward to a long relationship and more deals in Altea with Alfonso - High Quality Business @ CFL!!
