How common is divorce in Hong Kong, particularly among expat couples?
Sadly, it’s very common in Hong Kong among both the local and expat communities. Hong Kong has earned the reputation as being a “graveyard for marriages” as there are a high number of expats who relocate here only to find that the lifestyle and culture aren’t necessarily conducive to a happy family life.
At what stage should I consider hiring a lawyer?
I suggest having an initial consultation at an early stage. A family lawyer can give you information about the legal landscape, which can help to alleviate concerns and frame constructive discussions. They’ll also be able to make referrals to other professionals who may be able to help save the marriage. If there are children, it’s important to be well informed about the impact that separation or divorce will have on them. Early intervention could be the key to addressing the problems in a relationship and avoiding conflict if separation or divorce becomes inevitable.
