Chloé Oudiz : How I can help you
👉 My coaching sessions can be conducted in French and/or English to accommodate your most comfortable language.

How I can help you

In a country where you don’t know the system, don’t have access to your usual support network, and have fewer financial resources than your ex. I help you change that.

As the #1 Certified Divorce Coach® for international families, I leverage a wealth of expertise (including my own personal experience) to help you:

avoid common pitfalls that often arise in international divorce.

anticipate potential challenges before they become costly or complex

connect with the right professionals in each relevant jurisdiction

✔ ensure your child and financial arrangements are adapted to an international context.

Let’s get you sorted so you stay in control and avoid costly mistakes you may regret later.

"Divorcing in a foreign country is not an easy task, especially when you have to deal with complicated law jargon and a procedure that I did not know anything about. I felt like I was moving in the dark. But Chloe's support and guidance made me more confident to face each step of the journey."
Emilie, French national living in England

Not sure which jurisdiction to divorce in?

Understanding your divorce goals and your post-divorce plans will be key to deciding on the right jurisdiction for your divorce. I will help you make sure you consider different factors when making this decision: judicial culture in each country, comparative legal costs, and local divorce rules and eligibility. I can connect you with family lawyers in each country to understand your strategic position in each jurisdiction.

Need to plan for cross-border parenting and travel?

As a member of an international couple, you are likely to find yourself at some point trying to co-parent with your ex across borders. This brings up a whole range of challenges with regards to ongoing contact with the children, parenting time, travel arrangements and costs. I will support you in thinking through everything you need to consider to ensure your child arrangements are robust.

Complex financial order due to foreign assets and income?

International couples typically have properties and assets across various countries. Financial arrangements will need to consider the implications of these cross-border divisions, including tax impact, foreign exchange rates and local property laws. In our sessions, we can discuss how to avoid nasty surprises and consult with the right professionals to ensure all factors have been considered.

Debating whether to move back to your home country?

Most international divorces and separations involve some consideration of whether to move back to your home country at some point or another. It is likely one of the two former partners will want to explore the ramifications of such a decision. I will guide you through understanding the impact on the children and the child arrangements, but this can also impact financial provisions.
