Divorce from a foreigner: documents and procedure

 

The difficulty of divorcing a foreigner is that you may not have some documents with you personally. For example, if one of the spouses is abroad. In this case, there are several ways to get a divorce:

 

Divorce through the registry office

  • An application for divorce.
  • Passports of both spouses.
  • Documents confirming the presence or absence of joint minor children.
  • Certificate of marriage registration.
 

How to file for divorce in court

If the spouses do not have minor children together, or one of the spouses does not agree with the divorce, the divorce can be filed through the court. In this case, you will need:

 
  • An application for divorce.
  • Passports of both spouses.
  • Documents confirming the absence of joint minor children.
  • Documents confirming the grounds for divorce (for example, the fact of improper payment by the spouses).
 

Legal support and translation of documents

The procedure of registration of marriage with a foreigner or divorce can be complicated due to the large number of documents and specific procedures. In such cases, it is recommended to contact legal support specialists who will help you to collect and process all the necessary documents. In particular, certified translation of other documents into Ukrainian is an important aspect that requires attention and professional approach.

It finds its application in the context of international law, regulating the procedures for document legalization for use in different countries. An apostille serves as a kind of seal or stamp that certifies the legality and authenticity of the accompanying document.

When we mention an apostille, we mean not just a stamp or signature on the document, but also the recognition of its validity abroad. An apostille on documents acts as a kind of stamp that guarantees its acceptance in another country without the need for additional legalization. This ensures mutual understanding and eliminates doubts regarding the legal validity of documents in international relations.
