Lake Oswego, Oregon International Divorce Attorneys
International divorces can be both emotionally and legally complicated. Sometimes the laws of this country dictate the outcome, sometimes the laws of multiple countries are very much at play. The Hague convention may or may not apply. Custody and parenting time issues can be particularly dicey. Property division can be complex, involving differing laws and religious beliefs.
At the Hohbach Law Firm, our attorneys counsel and represent clients in international divorces, explaining how marital property will be divided and child custody determined whether in the United States or elsewhere.
Regardless of whether you married a foreign national, are a non-citizen spouse, or are in the military and need an international divorce, we can help. To schedule an appointment, contact a family law attorney at the Hohbach Law Firm today.
Child Custody, Spousal Support and Property Division
In determining child custody and parenting time, the most critical consideration is always the best interests of your children. Where your children have lived is an important factor, as is affording both stability and an ongoing relationship with both parents, whenever possible. As such, where each parent lives and how their relationship with the children can be facilitated will be taken into consideration.
Spousal support may also be an issue in your divorce. Various religious and cultural beliefs may play a role in determining the work history and future income potential of one or both parties. Whether spousal support is appropriate and if so, the duration and amount of support can be a battle you should not fight alone.
Property division can also be complicated, particularly where one or both spouses hold interest in real estate or other property interests overseas. Don’t rely on your spouse to advise you about those interests. Protect yourself and ensure that the outcome of your divorce is fair by hiring Hohbach Law Firm to assist you.
International Divorce and the Laws of Other Countries
If your spouse absconds with your children to another country, it can be very difficult to get them back, whether or not the Hague Convention applies. Similarly, if you are seeking to move to another country with your children, or even to take them to visit relatives, you can have a fight on your hands.
