Ex-pat divorce

“A british expat friend of mine married a Chinese girl in the UK, they lived in China and got divorced in a court in China, both parties were present at the hearing. Someone said their divorce is not valid in the UK, but I understood that the Family Law Act accounted for foreign divorces”

“I live outside the EU and I’ve read that the English courts are the most generous in the world to wives, so I have decided to divorce in England.”

“I live in Sweden and although my husband and I can get divorced in England, there’s no point as I’ll have to keep coming back for court appearances.”

“I was married to my husband in the UK, which was our home for 20 years. We have been living in Hong Kong for two years and have now separated. I wish to get divorced but have been told that I have to petition in Hong Kong.”

“I am English but live in South America so I can’t divorce in England.”

“I was not married in the UK. That means I have to go back to obtain a divorce in the country where I was married. ”
