Did you know that the Hong Kong legal system can have absolute jurisdiction to decide on a divorce, even in the case of two foreign persons married abroad, subject to a prior marriage contract and having chosen a matrimonial regime specific ?

​

Many people are unaware, but Hong Kong divorce law differs significantly from other jurisdictions, such as the French system for example, and it applies to parties based on domicile or substantial connection in Hong Kong.

​

Thus, many couples residing or having resided in Hong Kong may be subject to Hong Kong law in relation to divorce, ancillary reliefs, child custody and all related proceedings.
