“Should I divorce in England & Wales or New Zealand?” Jeremy Johnson speaks with English family lawyer and accredited mediator David Allison in Family Law in Partnership’s (FLIP) new international podcast series.
In this inaugural episode, David and Jeremy explore the key financial considerations for couples who may be able to divorce in either jurisdiction.
An estimated 270,000 British people are living in Aotearoa New Zealand, and approximately 60,000 New Zealand nationals are residing in the UK, making the legal interplay between these two jurisdictions highly relevant.
David and Jeremy discuss:
- Choosing a jurisdiction for divorce, including domicile and residence.
- Financial claims and maintenance on divorce.
- Claims available to non-married couples (de facto relationships).
- Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
- Key distinctions between the legal frameworks.
FLIP’s podcast series is intended for people navigating divorce with cross-border connections, as well as legal professionals seeking insight into comparative frameworks and key legal principles.
