Marriage & Family Law | Protecting Your Rights Across Borders

Navigating family legal matters becomes exponentially more complex when international borders are involved. As your trusted legal counsel in Shanghai, I specialize in resolving sensitive cross-border family disputes with cultural fluency and legal precision.

Core Services

1. Cross-Border Divorce & Asset Division

When marriages span countries, so do the legal challenges.

  • Strategic division of multinational assets (real estate, offshore accounts, corporate shares)

  • Enforcement of prenuptial/postnuptial agreements across jurisdictions

  • Tax-efficient solutions for asset distribution under Chinese and foreign laws

Why This Matters: Without expert guidance, you risk unfair settlements or unenforceable judgments.

2. International Child Custody & Support Disputes

Your child’s future shouldn’t be lost in translation.

  • Hague Convention and non-Convention custody cases

  • Relocation disputes (preventing or securing cross-border moves)

  • Bilingual mediation to align parenting plans with Chinese and foreign court requirements

Key Advantage: 85% of my custody cases reach out-of-court resolutions, minimizing family trauma.

3. Inheritance Conflicts Involving Foreign Parties

Global assets demand globally savvy legal strategies.

  • Will validation and probate proceedings for multinational estates

  • Contesting unfair inheritances under Chinese succession law

  • Establishing trusts for expatriate families with China-based assets

Critical Insight: China’s forced heirship rules may override foreign wills—plan proactively.

Why Clients Choose Me

  • Bilingual Courtroom Advocacy: Fluent in legal English/Mandarin for seamless proceedings.

  • Cultural Bridge: Deep understanding of Western and Chinese family law paradigms.

  • Efficiency Focus: Average cross-border divorce resolution: 5-8 months (vs. 12+ months industry standard).

Your Next Step: Schedule a Confidential Consultation to map your cross-border family legal strategy.
