Offshore Divorces Simplify Matters for International Couples

International couples seeking to divorce face even more challenges than the average couple. All divorces involve some level of emotional stress and turmoil, and fees associated with attorneys and the legal process can be substantial. Yet in cases where one or both spouses are living abroad, the stress and expenses can be truly overwhelming. The entire process can be so complex and costly, some international couples end up staying married even when both spouses know divorce is in both of their best interests.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to the lengthy delays, complex court proceedings and astronomical expenses typically involved in international divorces. If both spouses are committed to ending their marriage quickly and affordably, an offshore divorce in a country such as the Dominican Republic or Guam could be the ideal solution.

A speedy offshore divorce can simplify matters for international couples in a variety of ways. First, it eliminates the need to meet complicated residency requirements those living abroad may find impossible to meet. Instead of trying to divorce within jurisdictions in your country of origin or country of present-day residence, you can travel to a country with minimal requirements for obtaining a divorce. Some countries waive residency requirements altogether in cases of mutual consent divorces. Others require residency of as little as 7 days for a couple to be able to seek divorce.

Another way in which overseas divorces simplifies matters is by not requiring the physical presence of both spouses at divorce court proceedings. In most cases, only one spouse needs to travel to the country where divorce will be obtained. The other spouse simply signs documents indicating full consent to the divorce and agreement to any terms detailed regarding child custody or property division. It may also be necessary for the non-traveling spouse to designate power of attorney to the spouse who will appear at divorce court.

The speed with which international couples can obtain a legal divorce is a third way the process is simplified. In some cases, a mutual divorce can be final within just 24 hours. In other cases, it may take several days or at most, a few weeks.

In order to determine whether an overseas divorce is right for you and your spouse, take the time to research your options thoroughly online. Consider contacting an attorney who specializes in offshore divorces for international couples, as well to be certain you will be satisfied with the outcome.
