A:
To find a lawyer familiar with both United States and Costa Rican law, you can start by looking at legal directories that list attorneys with expertise in international family law. Websites like Martindale-Hubbell, Avvo, or the American Bar Association’s lawyer referral directory are good places to begin your search. These platforms often allow you to filter by location and area of law, which can help you find someone experienced in handling cases involving both U.S. and Costa Rican legal matters.
Another option is to contact the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica or the Costa Rican Embassy in the United States. They often have lists of attorneys who work with international clients and may be able to assist you in finding the right legal professional for your needs. Reaching out to a local bar association in either country could also provide referrals to attorneys with the necessary experience.
Lastly, consider joining legal forums or online communities where people discuss cross-border family law issues. Sometimes, recommendations from others who have gone through similar situations can point you in the right direction. By using these resources, you can connect with an attorney who can guide you through the enforcement of alimony orders between the United States and Costa Rica.
