（2）Divorce litigation service
Consultation on jurisdiction and application of law
- Assist in determining the court of jurisdiction. Generally, foreign-related divorce litigation is under the jurisdiction of the court at the defendant’s place of residence or, if the defendant is not in the country, the court at the plaintiff’s place of residence. Inform the parties that the law of the court’s location applies to the divorce proceedings; however, if the parties agree to apply foreign law and it does not violate the fundamental principles of Chinese law and the public interest of society, such application may also be permitted.
Representation(agency)
- As retained litigation counsel in divorce proceedings, we provide full-cycle representation encompassing: drafting pleadings and evidentiary disclosures; conducting courtroom advocacy through opening/closing statements, evidence presentation, and cross-examination; and pursuing favorable dispositions through court-facilitated settlement conferences with opposing parties.
Delivery and procedural assistance
- Due to the involvement of foreign parties, procedures such as the service of litigation documents are more complex, lawyers need to assist the court in completing the service work in accordance with the relevant regulations on foreign-related service. At the same time, explain each link and note of the litigation procedure to the client to ensure that they understand and can cooperate with the litigation process.
