Couples are perfectly entitled to file for a divorce in either England or Wales provided at least one of the parties lives in, or has strong links to, either of these countries. Provided that at least one of the parties meets these requirements, then either may act as the Petitioner and file the necessary documents with the court – irrespective of whether or not they live in either England or Wales. It should be noted that, whilst both part of the UK, Scotland and Northern Ireland are considered as foreign by the courts of England and Wales and that couples should therefore use courts within these countries if both parties reside there.
