BELGIAN IMMIGRATION LAWYER

Private international law

Cross-border families may need to determine which court has jurisdiction, which law applies and whether a foreign record or judgment is recognised in Belgium.

THOROUGH CASE ASSESSMENT

What matters?

A marriage, birth, parentage or adoption valid in one country is not always registered automatically in Belgium. Recognition depends on conflict-of-law rules, the substance of the foreign law and Belgian public policy.

I analyse the legal systems involved and help present the relevant foreign law and documentation to the Belgian authority or court.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Your situation needs
a personal answer.

  • Will Belgium recognise my foreign marriage?
  • Which national law applies to my family situation?
