Re: Divorce
The Family Court only has jurisdiction over those people who are actual parties to an action. If your case is still pending, the Court can address these issues and there are several types of remedies available. If the case is not pending, then you might consider bringing a new action to address the "marital" home, but you do not provide enough information to get too specific about that issue.
When dealing with international issues, the remedies available to you can sometimes literally vary from country to country. These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
