Understanding Divorce & Its Legal Implications With Head Attorney Silvie Koubíková

With the increase in the ease of travel and expats, research has found an exceptional increase of interracial and intercultural marriages over the past thirty years. In the last 10 years the numbers doubled. However, the dark side of such relationships is that they are found to have a higher risk for failure, stressful conditions, divorce, and lower marital satisfaction rate, as compared to monocultural couples. Meaning on top of the normal difficulties that monocultural couples faces, interracial and intercultural couples seem to have additional sources of difficulties, which include macro cultural factors found in the family and society. In this episode we explore some of these difficulties and further provide expat women the advice needed when things seem irreparable and they seek divorce in the Czech relationship.
In our upcoming episode I chat with Senior Attorney Silvie FELIX KOUBÍKOVÁ from Koubíková Legal who has helped a lot of expats with regards to family law.
We cover areas such as
1. The rise of intercultural and interracial relationships and their effects on marriage
2. Societal views on interracial and intercultural couples in the Czech Republic
3. The divorce process involving a foreigner in Czech Republic (filing, grounds for divorce, available resources for expats and the length of the divorce process)
4. Legal consequences of divorce (name change, division of property, spousal support, child custody, removal of child abroad and child maintenance fees)
