It’s very common these days for marriages to take place between citizens and residents of different countries within Europe. Unfortunately it’s equally common that such relationships end in separation and international divorce. And unfortunately the legal consequences can be very complicated too.
Are you and your future ex-spouse are considering a divorce in Europe? If so, quick action is necessary. As in most disputes, the best thing you can do is sit down and talk about it, to avoid mistakes that will end up costing you both a great deal of money, not to mention all the stress and time involved in complex international divorce and family law proceedings.
In Europe, you have a choice of countries in which to file divorce proceedings. The laws and court systems vary wildly, from very liberal to very conservative like Ireland. Therefore choosing the right country in which to file the papers is fundamental with cases involving another European country. You cannot simply change your mind later. You have to get it right first time.
This is because under a treaty known as Brussels II the country which first receives family law proceedings deals with them even though another country might have a closer connection.
Lawyers therefore advise that where another European country is involved, you should seek immediate specialist advice – perhaps even discussing the possibility of divorce with your future ex.
Once again, the Brussels II rule is: Between the member states of the European Union, it is simply on the basis of which country received the proceedings first.
Fortunately, there is another solution that lawyers won’t necessarily tell you about or even know about. It is an offshore mutual consent divorce. Mutual consent means that both parties agree to get divorced. It does not necessarily mean they both agree on the financial or family separation, child custody etc – though it’s certainly highly preferable that they do.
That means if you and your future ex are smart adults, you can save yourself not just a fortune in legal fees but you can also save yourselves both a huge amount of stress, simply by agreeing in advance on the country where you ant to get divorced. There’s nothing in law to say you have to get divorced in the same country you got married in. You can decide to get divorced in any country you have a connection with. And if you don’t have a connection, it is possible to make one!
