International Marital Disputes: How to deal with cross-border property division and custody disputes?
By : Kobre & Kim LLP
Case Overview:
Gianna married her husband abroad and had two children. Due to the breakdown of her marriage, Gianna wants a divorce and custody of her children. However, the husband tried to hide his assets through legal means to avoid dividing the property and threatened to prevent Gianna from seeing the children.
Legal response:
Asset investigation and evidence collection:
Gianna provided all of her financial records and our law firm began investigating her husband's assets. Through cross-border cooperation, our law firm tracked down the husband’s hidden assets in multiple countries.
International property division:
Our law firm helped Gianna file for divorce proceedings and sought a fair division of marital property through international legal procedures.
Custody dispute resolution:
Our law firm helped Gianna fight for custody of her children, and ultimately obtained custody of the children through court mediation and litigation procedures.
Ending and summary:
With the help of a lawyer, Gianna successfully obtained custody of her children and divided the property fairly. This case reminds divorcing spouses how to reasonably use legal means to fight for their own rights and interests in transnational marriages.
