International Matrimonial Lawyers at Stange Law Firm
Living or working outside the United States does not prevent you from pursuing or responding to a dissolution of marriage when your case has meaningful ties to the United States. Stange Law Firm represents individuals who are residing internationally and need experienced legal guidance in matrimonial matters involving U.S. jurisdictions. Whether you are abroad temporarily or long-term—due to employment, military service, education, or family obligations—our firm can help you navigate the legal process from a distance.
International dissolution cases often present unique challenges. These may include jurisdictional questions, service of process issues, time-zone differences, document coordination, and the logistical difficulties of participating in legal proceedings while overseas. Our attorneys are experienced in addressing these concerns and developing practical solutions that allow your case to move forward efficiently without requiring unnecessary travel or disruption to your life abroad.
In many cases, one spouse may already have initiated proceedings, requiring the other spouse to respond from outside the country. In other situations, a client may wish to file for dissolution proactively rather than wait until returning to the United States. We routinely assist clients in both circumstances and can advise you on your options based on the specific facts of your situation.
Representation may be available when your case has sufficient connections to a U.S. jurisdiction, such as when:
Your spouse resides in the United States
You own real property, financial assets, or business interests located in the United States
Your minor children reside in the United States or have significant ties there
Your legal residence, domicile, or home base remains in the United States
International matrimonial matters may also involve issues beyond the dissolution itself, including child custody and parenting arrangements, child support, property division, spousal maintenance, and enforcement or modification of existing court orders. Our attorneys work to address these issues comprehensively, with careful attention to the long-term impact on you and your family.
Stange Law Firm’s international matrimonial lawyers are accustomed to managing cases where one party resides abroad. We coordinate communication electronically, prepare and review filings remotely, and handle court appearances when permitted by law, ensuring that you remain informed and involved throughout the process. Our approach emphasizes clear communication, strategic planning, and careful attention to procedural requirements, even when distance is a factor.
