The modern era has made it increasingly permissible for individuals to meet and interact with one another on a global basis. This has drastically impacted the practice of family law. Geography has not limited the ability for couples to enter into relationships and even raise children. An additional concern is the presence of investments, property, or other holdings in multiple countries. When complex family law issues arise that require knowledge of international treaties and laws, it is important to have a family law attorney that knows the terrain. Our office has significant experience in handling these types of issues and is fully committed to protecting your interests domestically and abroad.

The international legal system is composed of the laws of individual countries and also multilateral and bilateral agreements that impact the ability for an attorney to represent his or her client's needs abroad. Our office will help you to determine what the best jurisdiction is for you to initiate (or in some cases, move) family law actions you may be a party to. Our office also has ability in dealing with witnesses who are located in another country, international holdings, and custody disputes.

If you have concerns that your case may extend past California or even American borders, please contact our office. An initial consultation can ensure that you are in tune with the complexities of litigating abroad.
