How to Pick The Country For Your Divorce
When separated spouses live in different countries or provinces, they may wonder where the best place would be to get divorced. Where the separated spouses now live in different places, it may be possible to chose where the divorce will occur. Different jurisdictions have different laws. Often it can be more advantageous for one spouse to get divorced in one jurisdiction over another.
To answer the question of a follower, Certified Specialist in Family Law, John Schuman, discusses the considerations in deciding where to get divorced. He answers questions like:
- When can a married couple choose different places to get divorced?
- If someone gets divorced outside Canada, will Canada recognize the divorce as valid?
- How does someone determine where would be best to get a divorce?
- If the spouse cannot agree, how will courts decide where the divorce will happen?
- How does the place of divorce affect issues like child support, spousal support, property division and parenting?
