Lawyers will tell you that when a relationship breaks down it is usually money and children which cause the arguments. That may well be the case but emotional issues and heated exchanges can also revolve around who is to have the family pets. Battles over with which spouse the family dog, cat or even budgerigar will live are far from unknown. The family pets are considered members of the family and when the family breaks up questions of residence for the animals and even contact rights can be contentions.
If you are living outside of England and Wales when your marriage breaks down the question will arise as to whether you are able to divorce in the English courts. Much the same question will have to be asked if you are from another country where you were married but have made your home and now reside in England and Wales.
Using the English legal system is usually much quicker, cheaper and more convenient than attempting to use the local jurisdiction. In many instances expats would anyway be prevented from doing so. A word of warning however.

The blessings of a second (or maybe the third or fourth) marriage can be marred by the financial obligation holding over from a previous marriage. The new family will not take lightly to the financial demands of an earlier wife and will demand efforts to bring these commitments to an end.
This can be the million-dollar question in ancillary relief proceedings on divorce. How much maintenance can the wife (although it can also be the husband) claim.
This is a practical guide to dealing yourself with divorce and marriage breakdown.
