The Plight of the Expatriate Spouse

By Jeremy Morley

ADVERTISEMENTS

My article on The Plight of the Expatriate Spouse, published in the current issue of The Matrimonial Strategist is on my website and may be found at http://www.international-divorce.com/expat_plight.htm

The article contends that lawyers and judges need to do a far better job of understanding the unique circumstances of expatriates with children who moved overseas for romance or to accomodate their spouses' work assignments.

In my experience, based on counseling very many expats in family crises, when such relationships fail the "trailing spouse" is often in a desperate situation that the law often fails to accomodate.
