With international families on the rise and global mobility at an all-time high, more couples are finding themselves with connections to more than one country.

But what happens when an international marriage breaks down? Does the country where you got married automatically handle your divorce, or is it all about where you live now?

In this episode, Tim and Jen are joined by Mills & Reeve Principal Associate Ciara Moore, an expert in high-value and international family law.

Together, they bust the myth that you can always divorce in the country where you married, and unpack the real legal criteria - such habitual residence and domicile -that determine which court has jurisdiction. The team also explores the complexities of competing jurisdictions, the impact of Brexit, and the practical and strategic steps international couples should consider. 

Whether you’re navigating cross-border relationships or just curious about how international divorce works, this episode offers essential insights and top tips for protecting your future.
