International Divorce

Couples divorcing in the US who are foreign nationals or immigrated to the US after marriage have to consider the effects of non-domestic assets, and the possibility that divorce rules from other countries might apply to their circumstance. 
 

Problems:

• Unclear which jurisdiction governs the divorce:
  How do we enforce decisions made in US courts?
• Assets located outside of the US:
  How can they be located?  How can we collect on them?
  
  How does asset division change if they are community or separate?
• Child support is complex and perilous
