Re: Divorce

Your question is rather vague, the answer to your question will depend on certain variables; for example:

1) Is there a child custody matter pending? You may invoke US state jurisdiction on such matters.

2) Does your inquiry concern property within the U.S.?

There are other matters that would affect whether US or Canadian law would apply.

Contact my office and schedule a consultation so we could discuss your matter further.

Best Regards,
