In this global village that the world is becoming, as a professional, you’ll find yourself working and living in different countries. In countries with different legal systems and laws governing the family unit. Way different from those of your country of origin.
This doesn’t mean you shy away from love, companionship, coupling, having children or pooling together resources which is more secure in a legally recognized and protected type of coupling such as marriage.
What it mean is that you will need a family law attorney to guide you through the best form of coupling to adopt, and in case of the conventional marriage, the essential and formal validity of marriages in that country, the legal obligations arising out of having and raising children within or without wedlock in that country, and the matrimonial property laws of that country etcetera.
Having an understanding of a country’s laws on marriage, divorce and children would help you make informed decisions, as a professional, on whether to marry and have children in a specific country or not depending on the stakes.
It also arrest any likely occurrence of contested family litigation in future.
For Divorce, child support/maintenance & access and division of matrimonial properties need not be BITTER.
And neither need a marriage be nullified for failure to meet any of the validities, and with it miss on the protection & benefits that legally recognized marriages bring, for example.
