Ohio International Divorce Lawyers

Emotional upheaval, dislocation, financial concerns... divorce is challenging enough without adding the complexity of cross-cultural issues, differing customs, and the laws of other countries.

Our international divorce lawyers Gottfried have extensive experience handling the issues of divorce, child custody and visitation, and property division in the international arena.

Creative Approaches to the Challenges of International Divorce

Our clients have included international pilots, military personnel, international students and scholars, performance artists, business executives, and immigrants to the U.S. We represent clients located in Ohio and serve as local counsel for clients living abroad. In just the past year, we have assisted clients from Hong Kong, Poland, Germany, England, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Palestine, Israel, and Sweden.

We represent clients in a broad range of international divorce issues:

  • Had trouble serving divorce papers on a spouse who travels extensively? This is where our creativity really shines. We know how to serve anyone, anywhere.
  • Do you own property or assets in another country? We will work with local counsel to ensure mirror asset division agreements that are acceptable in both locations.
  • Has the other parent taken your child to his or her home country without your permission? We are skilled in handling cases of parental kidnapping and international child abduction.
  • Having difficulty obtaining your court-ordered spousal support (alimony)? Depending upon the country involved, we may be able to assist you in enforcing your spousal support order under the Hague Convention.
