Moving out of the UK

Moving out of the UK
April 20, 2024 08:12AM
Hi, my name is Ingrid Guerci. Because my wife had an affair with someone else, I decided to divorce. I am currently in the middle of divorce proceedings (only recently filed) and I am contemplating moving out of the UK for work reasons.

Would this have any good or bad impact on divorce or financial settlement? Would it strengthen any spouse claim on property in the UK if I am not staying in it?

Thanks!

It has no impact at all upon the divorce. As long as the court properly had jurisdiction when the divorce application was issued it does not matter that one or both spouses move outside the UK before the divorce is finalised. Obviously you have to make sure that the court can still contact you (which does not matter if you have a lawyer in the UK acting on your behalf0 but so far as the divorce itself is conerned it makes no difference.

As to whether it afffects the financial outcome that rather depends upon what the issues are between you. In principle it makes no difference but, for example, the price of suitable alternative accommodation might be significantly different in the country to which you are going compared to the UK. Factors lke this can make a difference but it very much depends how much there is to argue about and what the issues are if that is the case.

You may want to remove your name from your post. Although you can leave it if you want to people do not usually identify themselves by name and it really isn't necessary.
