- My husband’s foreign lawyer is dealing with the divorce and finances and all I have to do is sign
- I can pay to adopt a child from another country
- English courts cannot touch my assets abroad
- It is not Child Abduction if I go back to my home country with our child
- All orders can be enforced anywhere in the world
