Divorce from a foreigner
In the modern world, no one is surprised at marriages with foreigners. After all, we travel to other countries, go on business trips, communicate and meet people on the Internet.
That’s why divorce from foreigners has become commonplace for us. It should be noted that dissolving a marriage with a foreigner may be more difficult than with a Ukrainian.
This is due to the fact that it is necessary to know the norms of international legislation, details and nuances of international treaties and agreements.
To ensure a quick and trouble-free divorce from a foreigner, we recommend contacting a family law lawyer. A divorce lawyer will help you file a turnkey divorce from a foreigner, even without his consent or without his presence in Ukraine.
Divorce a foreigner if the marriage took place in Ukraine
If the marriage with a foreigner was concluded in Ukraine, the divorce procedure corresponds to the dissolution of a marriage between Ukrainian citizens.
In this case, a divorce from a foreigner can be filed through the DRATS authority (if you do not have common children under 18 years of age and both spouses agree to the divorce) or through the court (if you have common children under 18 years of age or the man does not agree).
The only difference between a divorce from a foreigner whose marriage was formalized in Ukraine is the need to translate the divorce document into the language of the country in which the spouse lives and affix an apostille.
A good divorce lawyer will help you file a divorce from a foreigner, quickly and efficiently translate documents and affix an apostille stamp.
Divorce a marriage with a foreigner entered into in another country
If your marriage was concluded in another country, then a divorce from a foreigner can be filed in the country of marriage or in Ukraine.
Divorce in another country – Italy, Canada or any other – is complicated by the nuances of the legislation of that country.
Divorce from a foreigner in Ukraine in the case of marriage in another country requires translation of the marriage document into Ukrainian and affixing an apostille stamp confirming the validity of this document.
Since the procedure for translation and affixing an apostille can be lengthy, we recommend contacting a family lawyer who cooperates with a translator and knows how to quickly affix an apostille on divorce documents.
Jurisdiction for divorce with a foreigner
Jurisdiction for divorce with a foreigner is determined by the legislation of the country where the marriage took place, as well as international treaties and agreements.
Determining the jurisdiction of a divorce from a foreigner is determined by several factors:
The first factor is the country of marriage.
The second factor is the presence of common children under 18 years of age.
The third factor is whether the man was registered in Ukraine in the past or lived with a man in Ukraine.
Depending on the definition of jurisdiction for a divorce from a foreigner, you will be able to file for divorce in Ukraine or in the country of marriage.
Divorce between Ukrainian citizens abroad
Now many Ukrainians leave the country for various reasons – employment, moving to a permanent place of residence, reunification with relatives.
Therefore, the most popular request among clients is divorce of Ukrainian citizens living abroad.
The most convenient way to dissolve a marriage is to contact a divorce lawyer who can resolve the matter without your presence.
To do this, you need to enter into an agreement on the provision of legal services with a lawyer. This will allow you to resolve all issues related to divorce abroad online.
Divorce with a foreigner in court
Divorce of a marriage with a foreigner in court is carried out if you have common minor children or one of the spouses is against divorce.
Judicial registration of divorce involves the preparation of a statement of claim and the collection of all necessary documents, depending largely on the country of marriage.
Registration of a divorce from a foreigner in Ukraine
Filing a divorce from a foreigner in Ukraine is characterized by a large number of advantages, which is why many clients insist that the divorce be filed in our country.
Grounds for divorce from a foreigner in Ukraine:
- the man had Ukrainian registration in the past;
- living with a man in the past tense on the territory of Ukraine;
- filing documents with the court not only for divorce, but also for the collection of alimony.
According to Ukrainian legislation, if you and your husband did not live in Ukraine and he did not have Ukrainian registration, then you can get a divorce in Ukraine by filing not only for divorce, but also for alimony.
This way you can simplify the divorce process and quickly complete all the documents. At the same time, during the legal proceedings, you can withdraw your claim for alimony.
Divorce with a foreigner without consent
If you want to divorce a foreigner, and the man is against such a decision, then you should file for a divorce without consent.
In this case, you should prepare a statement of claim and collect all the necessary documents to submit them for divorce to the court.
Otherwise, the procedure for dissolving a marriage with a foreigner is identical to the divorce process in court.
How to file for divorce if the man is abroad
If you want to dissolve your marriage, but your spouse cannot come to Ukraine to complete the documents, then you can dissolve the marriage without his presence.
To do this, you need to prepare all the necessary documents and a statement of claim. After this, submit documents to the judicial authorities.
It should be noted that the court does not always react quickly to cases of divorce from a foreigner, so you or your lawyer need to monitor the divorce process.
Registration of divorce from a foreigner without presence
To separate from a foreigner living abroad without his presence, you must inform him that you have filed for divorce.
Therefore, all documents for divorce should be translated and an apostille affixed to authenticate them. These documents are sent to the man’s residential address.
Our lawyers will help you quickly prepare the translation of documents, affix an apostille and control the sending of documents to your wife abroad for a quick divorce.
Apostille stamp for divorce from a foreigner
An apostille stamp when filing a divorce from a foreigner is affixed in several cases:
- if the marriage with a foreigner was registered in another country, and it is necessary to translate the marriage document into Ukrainian;
- if you got divorced in Ukraine and you need to provide a document on the divorce of spouses living in another country.
Issuing an apostille is a rather complex bureaucratic procedure, which can be simplified with the help of a family law lawyer.
A lawyer will help you translate documents in a short time, because we cooperate with good translators, and we will also affix an apostille on the necessary documents.
