Essential preparations before launching your global legal strategy.

Detail domestic and foreign real estate, deposits, and equity, specifically identifying subscribed capital risks.
In international divorce, jurisdiction is your first line of defense. By filing a jurisdictional objection, you disrupt the opponent's rhythm and create space for asset negotiation.
A Korean wife vs. an American husband. Yuanjia lawyers used jurisdictional objections to stall the case, eventually leveraging the deadlock to secure 50% of the husband's pre-marital property value and a lump-sum child support payment.
Exploit the long cycles of international evidence notarization. By withholding overseas evidence until the last moment, you force the court to handle only domestic assets first, achieving physical isolation of wealth.
To solve cross-border execution issues, design an offset plan where domestic property value covers future child support. Use WeChat mediation to bypass year-long service cycles.
Domestic house goes to the husband; the value offsets 10 years of child support for the wife.
Achieved via digital service and pre-litigation mediation for a client in Zambia.
