Transnational marriage divorce case: successfully obtained custody

Case Overview:

The case involves an international couple, Mr. Zhang (Chinese American) and Ms. Wang (Chinese national). The two met and fell in love while studying abroad, then married in the United States and lived there for several years. Factors such as cultural differences, family pressures and job fluctuations led to emotional rifts. Lisa filed for divorce and asked for the division of their joint property in China and for custody of her son, who was born and has lived in the United States. Mr. Zhang, on the other hand, wants to retain custody of his son and object to the division of material property, arguing that Ms. Wang's property ownership in China is fully disclosed.

Legal Response:

International Legal Studies:
First, the legal team conducted in-depth research on marriage laws, property division systems and custody judgment standards in China and the United States, laying a solid legal foundation for handling the case. The property inventory was conducted in China and the United States, including real estate, vehicles, banks and stocks. At the same time, they hired a professional appraisal agency to evaluate the value of the assets to ensure the fairness of asset division.

Collection of evidence for exercising litigation rights:
In order to fight for custody, the legal team collected evidence about Mr. Zhang's life, work, education and other aspects in the United States to prove that he was able to provide a stable and favorable environment for his son to grow up. At the same time, they also prepared evidence on Wang's living situation, working environment and the time she spent with the child in China to assess her ability to raise the child.

International legal assistance:
The legal team has established contacts with local lawyers in China through international judicial assistance channels to jointly deal with property division and custody issues in China. They assisted Mr. Zhang in filing the relevant lawsuits in the U.S. courts and ensured that the judgments between the Chinese and American courts reached an agreement that could be mutually recognized and enforced.

Outcomes and recoveries:
Before the trial, the legal team actively renegotiated with Ms. Lisa and her lawyer to seek a mutually acceptable solution. Through many communications, the two parties finally reached a preliminary agreement on the division and custody of the property.

Outcome and Summary:

According to the agreement reached between the two parties, the property of Sino-US Agreement has been reasonably divided. Mr. Zhang received most of the property in the United States, while Ms. Lisa received part of the property in China and certain cash compensation. Taking into account the son's age, living habits and Zhang's living and working conditions in the United States, the court awarded custody to Zhang. Ms. Liza has visitation rights and can bring her son to the United States for reunion at certain times.
