Website specialising in expat divorce cases developed for solicitors

An award-winning Warwickshire company is helping an online law firm tap into a niche market with clients all over the world.

Rugby-based Zarr Internet Services has developed a web-site specialising in expat divorce cases for solicitors Woolley & Co, which has clients as far as the US, Thailand and New Zealand.

The site, divorce-lawfirm.co.uk, offers advice and information to hundreds of thousands of Brits now living overseas, who may need legal advice if they are going through a divorce. Sessions with solicitors can also be booked online.

Woolley & Co is a Stratford-based online solicitors firm with expertise in a range of areas from matrimonial to business law and keeps in contact with clients by email rather than traditional paperwork to speed up the communication process.

Hannah Reynolds, managing director of Zarr Internet Services, said: "Woolley & Co's online approach to the legal business is unique and we are delighted to help the firm in its bid to appeal to the evergrowing expat community.

"The beauty of it is that expats living on any continent in the world can access first-class legal advice at the touch of a button should they need to consult a British solicitor with experience of handling cases from overseas."

Andrew Woolley, e-commerce legal specialist at Woolley & Co, said: "We have always attracted a lot of interest from expats and saw this area as a niche market. A high proportion of inquiries on the site have turned into clients.

"We have clients in Thailand, the US and New Zealand and are now looking at Spain where there is an enormous expat community. The communities are also very close knit and word gets around once you have carried out work for someone".

We have that right here for nothing. Why pay someone on the internet that has no legal rights in Thailand. If you need a lawyer get one in person or one recommended by a friend. Sounds like a long distance way to hose a farang and hide behind the internet. They are being middlemen which will have no value

other than added cost.

I am wondering, is it possible for say one or the other of a farang couple to file for divorce in Thailand?

More to the point is it possible for one party to file for divorce, or custody of children etc, when both are UK, US, Aust, etc citizens? Couldnt the other party just leave, with or without their kids, back home to their native country regardless of what the other partner tries to do legally in Thailand?
