Expat Divorce 'Simple' Say Leading Law Firm


Submitted by: Woolley & Co


2009-01-13 00:01:55

(OPENPRESS) January 13, 2009 -- Andrew Woolley, senior partner at "virtual" law firm Woolley & Co, which conducts much of its work online and over the phone, dismissed the need for costly flights back to the UK, said, "So many British expats living abroad do not realise that they are even entitled to a divorce under English Law and if they are aware, they believe that it will require them to return to the UK or alternatively file for a divorce in their new country of residence. This simply isn't true."

Under English Law, you are in fact entitled to a UK divorce if you consider England or Wales to be your home despite living abroad, if you have only recently returned to the UK after a prolonged period abroad or if you are from overseas and have made either England or Wales your new home.

Mr Woolley, whose pioneering UK-wide family law firm has a huge client base in both the Far East and America, said, "This area of the law is very specialised and we often deal with clients who have been told by other solicitors that they cannot divorce here. Our lawyers are all trained in the issues around international and expat divorce so anyone coming to us gets expert advice.

Getting a divorce under English law with Woolley & Co is now easier than ever before, we are unique in that we have many divorce lawyers who tailor their own working hours to suit the needs of their client. This means that they are available to liaise over the phone and through email in the evenings or early mornings to other countries."

There are a number of benefits to filing for a divorce here despite living abroad. The English legal system is generally much quicker, cheaper and often means you will get a fairer settlement. This is an extremely good option for couples who have maybe been separated for a while but want to end those legal ties for good, maybe to get re-married.

Mr Woolley added, "Most of our Expat clients are seeking an amicable divorce after being separated for a while and find that our unique way of working suits them perfectly."

As well as simplifying the process of contact and correspondence Woolley & Co also offer fixed fees for those seeking an Expat divorce, as well as the ability to pay online.

Mr Woolley added, "We know from experience that when people take jobs abroad and choose to leave family behind or move their families thousands of miles across the ocean, this can put additional strain on a relationship and can result in a legal separation being sought.

"Many of our overseas clients find comfort in being able to speak with an English lawyer back home as opposed to someone overseas, especially when divorce can be such an emotional and trying time."
