When your marriage spanned countries, so does your divorce. Whether you own property in another nation, hold pensions across borders, or your spouse has moved abroad, untangling a long marriage with international ties requires a clear, informed strategy. This book guides you through the critical decisions: which country's laws apply, how to locate and value hidden or offshore assets, and what happens to retirement funds split across multiple jurisdictions. You'll learn how tax treaties, currency fluctuations, and differing legal systems can impact settlement negotiations—and how to work with experts who specialise in cross-border cases. Practical checklists help you gather documents, choose mediators or lawyers, and protect your financial future without costly missteps. Written with empathy for the emotional weight of ending a decades-long union, this is not about winning a battle but securing a fair, enforceable outcome. From prenuptial agreements to enforcing orders abroad, you'll gain the confidence to navigate this intricate landscape. Part of The Later-Life Divorce Library.
