International Divorce & Family Law
International divorce encompasses a wide range of situations, including divorces between a Korean and a foreign national in Korea, divorces between Koreans residing abroad, and divorces between foreign nationals with ties to Korea. These cases require careful consideration of jurisdiction (whether Korean courts have authority), the applicable governing law, and the procedures in both domestic and foreign legal systems. Because international divorce proceedings often involve multiple legal systems, they can be far more complex than domestic cases. At One Law Partners, we work with a network of foreign-qualified attorneys—including U.S. and Chinese lawyers—and maintain close partnerships with overseas law firms to provide seamless cross-border legal support.
