Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Divorce Jurisdiction and Validity

It's highly fact specific. Any information I could provide here may be totally inapplicable to your situation because of the variety of laws and treaties involved.

In order to change jurisdiction, both parties must agree to the change of jurisdiction. If both parties do not agree then a later begun proceeding in the foreign jurisdiction would be stayed until the conclusion of the local proceeding. Generally the prior action would be given prejudicial effect in the other jurisdiction.

There are many other solutions that will not only achieve the results you seek but can take advantage of the hand you have been dealt. I have worked on some of these types of matters and think I can be of help.

I would be happy to speak with you about this or any other legal matter. Please contact me to arrange an appointment.
