Washington, DC -  Founder of Global Expats, Quenby Wilcox,  announced today that she has filed a complaint with the Spanish Bar Association (Colegio de Abogados de Madrid,) against her legal counsel for gross negligence and professional mis-conduct in her 6 year long divorce & custody battle within Spanish court.  A copy of the complaint in its entirety is posted on http://worldpulse.com/node/80536

Amongst those named in her complaint are:

- Jorge Capell of Cuatrecasas Gonçalves Pereira (www.cuatrecasas.com)

- Belén García Martin

- Ignacio González Martínez (Alcade de Gargantilla del Lozoya y Pinilla de Buitrago.)

Ms. Wilcox has also petitioned the American Embassy & Consulate in Madrid and the US Department of State in Washington, DC for assistance in her fight for justice & accountability within the Spanish judicial system. Her correspondence to US Ambassador Solomont & other US Department of State officials is posted on http://worldpulse.com/node/73335.

Ms. Wilcox’s legal battles with her ex-husband, former executive director at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), one of Spain’s leading banks, began in 2007 & were a result of her efforts to work outside the home & start a business, Global Expats – www.global-xpats.com.

Unfortunately, Ms. Wilcox’s experience with family courts, plagued by negligence, discrimination & corruption are not unusual or unique, particularly in cases of domestic abuse.  High profile international cases, such as Maria Jose Carrascosa, Ana Serrot, & Kelly Rutherford have brought media attention to the plight of millions of women around the world.

In the past 6 years, Ms. Wilcox has not only single-handedly fought her legal battles in Spain, but has led a campaign within the US Department of State & Congress for recognition of the rights of American women & children living abroad in cases of domestic abuse.
