These attorneys can also be consulted for questions regarding international divorce procedures and other issues that are unique to the legal system of a foreign country.
International couples may choose to file for divorce under two types of procedures in Japan. The first is called a “divorce by agreement,” where the couple agrees on an amicable division of their property and a visitation schedule for children. This is the simplest form of divorce in Japan and is often utilized by international couples seeking a quick and cost effective solution. The second method is to file a petition of “divorce by litigation.” 離婚 弁護士 東京 is more complex and involves court based conciliation as well as a trial before the judge.
Both methods require a variety of documentation, including birth certificates and passports.
