Hi

I would suggest that your daughter starts by putting a restriction on the file at the Land Registry, to prevent sale of the flat.

Comity usually applies to marriage/divorce so that a marriage/divorce which takes place in one country is recognised by others so you don't have to get divorced in the same country where you got married. Indeed some places, where divorces are quite quickly and easily obtained, almost become divorce holiday destinations.

See this document for some help. Specifically look at page 12 which informs you about the validity of divorce that is granted in a foreign country outside the EU.

http://www.davidhodson.com/assets/documents/recognition.pdf

Especially worthy to note this

Recognition may be be refused if the divorce was obtained:

1-without such steps having been taken for giving notice of the proceedings to a party to the marriage as ... should reasonably have been taken”
2-without a party having been given (for any reason other than lack of notice) such opportunity to take part in the proceedings as ... he should reasonably have been given
3- there is no official documents certifying that the divorce etc is effective under the law of the country in which it was obtained
4-where either party... was domiciled in another country at the relevant date, there is no official document certifying that the divorce etc is recognised as valid under the law of that country
