Immigration - Family

Experience

Family law matters such as adoption, marriage, divorce and domestic violence may increasingly raise immigration law issues, with more people travelling and working abroad.  For example, the foreign national spouse of a British national husband or wife must satisfy the immigration rules before settlement will be granted to the foreign spouse.  In these circumstances, it is essential that the right application is made, supported with the correct evidence.  Birkett Long can offer the proper legal advice and assistance that should be obtained in such cases.

Our immigration law team helps with all immigration issues which may arise during the course of dealing with family law cases.  These issues may be complex and it is recommended that specialist advice be sought in these situations.  Considerable experience and expertise is available within the immigration law team who work closely with our family law team to provide you with a comprehensive service in this fast growing area of law.
