You will have the support of an exceptional legal team
Every international family law case is unique, and we approach each one with the care and attention it deserves.

We take the time to understand your specific circumstances, offering personalised advice that aligns with your needs and goals.
Types of issues include:
-
I currently live in Qatar but previously resided in Scotland and still own a property there. Can I apply for a divorce through the Scottish courts?
-
I have a Scottish court order stating that my ex-partner must pay child maintenance, but he has now moved to Australia. Can this be enforced overseas?
-
My child has been taken from Spain to Scotland by their other parent without my agreement. Can you assist in securing their return?
-
I was divorced in Italy without my knowledge and have not received a fair financial settlement. Is there any legal action I can take in Scotland?
