Divorce Switzerland or UK?

[LondonMum987]

I have the option to divorce in Switzerland or the UK. Does anyone have experience of a similar choice and could advise on the pros and cons (time, financial split, etc)? I have more capital (and possibly a slighly larger pension) than he does.

Yes. Any decent family law solicitor should be able to give the advice you need. Consult ones in each jurisdiction.

Don’t try and do it on the cheap by getting the MN classic “free half hour “ or by actually asking for advice from strangers on MN. You need detailed advice in both countries and should be prepared to pay for it.

I've already done this, and spent a significant amount of money on lawyers' fees. But being told about the process and experiencing it are two different things.

Where in Switzerland?

Vaud/Geneva

You are literally (in your OP) asking for advice about the financial split (ie where you are likely to get a better outcome). Your lawyers will have advised you about that. You will have paid £hundreds if not more. Why are on here asking strangers to second guess them?

Hi, I had a similar experience and understand what you mean. I paid lawyers who only know about their country law and want your business they will not be able to tell you what is best because they can't compare the two countries. My options were between UK and another EU country. I was told I had to stick to English law because we lived in England during our married life and have most of our assets in the UK, if I applied for divorce in my country my ex could ask for a change of jurisdiction to England which would further add to costs.
My understanding is that in England the law is looking for an equal split whereas European countries allow people to safeguard what they own and protects the 'poorer' party.
In my experience I would have had a much better outcome if I could have divorced in my home country. Wish I had taken legal advice before moving to the UK, but hey!

Thanks.
