Description
International divorce lawyer in Bucharest
Do you live abroad, your spouse has another citizenship, or the marriage was concluded in another state? We analyze the jurisdiction, applicable law, and documents for a divorce with international elements.
Where divorce can be judged
The place where you married does not, by itself, determine which court has jurisdiction. Habitual residence, nationality, whether the application is joint and the rules applicable to the countries involved are relevant. We assess international jurisdiction separately from which Romanian court can hear the case. Do not assume that holding a Romanian document allows you to bring any claim in Romania.
Applicable law and child-related requests
Which court has jurisdiction and which law governs the divorce are separate questions. Where minor children are involved, the child’s residence, parental responsibility, contact arrangements and maintenance each require their own assessment. Being able to divorce in one country does not automatically establish jurisdiction over all these claims.
What assistance can include
- Analysis of the connections with Romania and the other state.
- Preparation of the application and supporting documents.
- Checking service of documents and arrangements for representation.
- Coordinating applications concerning children and property, where appropriate.
- Analysis of the recognition of a foreign judgment and the necessary formalities.
Documents for the first discussion
Prepare the marriage certificate, identity documents and the children’s documents. State your nationalities, the countries where you and your spouse have lived and for how long, your current residence, and any proceedings or judgments abroad. For foreign documents, we check whether translations and authentication formalities are needed, without automatically requiring the same documents for every country.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to come personally to Romania?
We verify the conditions of representation, the situation of living abroad and any requirements of the court. We do not promise absence at any stage.
Does a foreign judgment automatically produce all the effects in Romania?
The regime differs according to the state, the subject matter of the decision and the applicable rules. We analyze recognition and the concrete formalities.
Can I move the child to another state before the divorce?
Do not make this decision based solely on the existence of the marriage or the proceedings. Parental rights, the agreement and existing decisions must be verified separately.
