Hinsdale Cross-Cultural Divorce Attorneys

Cross-Cultural Divorce Lawyers Serving Cook, Kane, and Kendall Counties

Every year in Illinois, many married couples decide to end their marriages for a wide variety of reasons. In many cases, divorce is a necessary process to preserving the emotional and mental well-being of both partners, as well as their children. In some cases, unfortunately, the physical well-being of a spouse or child may also be a concern. Whatever the reason, divorce can be extremely difficult and particularly so if the spouses come from drastically different cultures.

The idea of a successful, cross-cultural marriage is certainly very romantic. Two individuals with very diverse backgrounds fall in love and decide to build a life together. Many couples are able to bridge the cultural gap between their families and experience a long, happy marriage. Others, however, may find that continuing the marriage is not in the best interest of either spouse or their children. At the Law Office of Martoccio & Martoccio, we understand the difficulties cross-cultural couples may face in divorce. With more than 75 years of family law experience, our attorneys are prepared to help you through your divorce no matter what challenges lie ahead.

Knowledgeable Attorneys Who Understand the Needs of Cross-Cultural Clients

Many of the considerations that must be made in divorce rely on the determination of a spouse’s or a child’s best interest. What constitutes a person’s best interest, however, is often very subjective and depends on a great many factors. Family customs, heritage, and cultural differences absolutely impact how an individual views the world, and therefore affects what he or she believes to be important. In a divorce situation, it is critical that such factors be understood by both parties and the court so that appropriate decisions can be made.

Cross-cultural relationships can develop in many ways. They can begin in an educational setting, where one partner is studying in another state or another country. It is even possible for such a relationship to begin on the job, as many workplaces employ a very diverse staff. How ever they may have started, the cultural considerations of each spouse must be accounted for during the divorce process.
