Specialist help in Jersey cross-border divorces
Cross-border divorce and civil partnership dissolution cases often involve a complex interplay of legal systems, particularly when one party resides in Jersey or holds significant assets within the jurisdiction. At Parslows LLP, we regularly collaborate with UK and international law firms to provide strategic support in family law matters. Our team is well-versed on ensuring that local proceedings complement and enhance broader litigation strategies.
When proceedings are initiated abroad, our role often involves advising on Jersey-specific matters such as the protection of local assets through freezing orders, the enforcement of foreign judgments, and the resolution of jurisdictional conflicts. These issues can be particularly acute in cases involving high-net-worth individuals, where the stakes are significant and the asset structures complex. Our team is experienced in securing urgent injunctive relief, including ex parte freezing injunctions. We also act in defending such applications where appropriate, ensuring that our clients’ interests are safeguarded.

In addition to financial matters, we advise on child-related issues that arise in cross-border cases. These may include relocation applications, contact arrangements, and safeguarding concerns. Jersey’s courts prioritise the welfare of the child and may require additional documentation or expert input when international elements are involved. Our team works closely with foreign counsel to ensure that applications are well-prepared and supported by appropriate evidence, with a view to achieving outcomes that reflect the best interests of the child.
Our approach is collaborative, discreet, and responsive. We understand the importance of aligning Jersey proceedings with the overarching strategy of the case and maintain close communication with instructing firms to ensure consistency and efficiency. Whether your client requires urgent protective measures or long-term planning, Parslows LLP delivers high-quality, tailored advice that supports your litigation objectives and protects your client’s interests.
If you are a UK or international law firm seeking expert Jersey legal support in a cross-jurisdictional divorce or civil partnership dissolution, Parslows LLP is here to assist. We are committed to providing practical, strategic advice that integrates seamlessly with your case and enhances your client’s position.
