Legal Support for Foreigners

Divorcing in Vietnam as a foreign resident can be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring a clear understanding of Vietnamese family law, court procedures, and documentation requirements. Whether you and your spouse are both foreigners living in Vietnam or one spouse is Vietnamese, ensuring a smooth and legally recognised divorce requires professional legal support.

At JCP Corporate Services, we provide comprehensive divorce assistance for foreign residents in Vietnam, helping you navigate the legal system, paperwork, and court proceedings with efficiency and professionalism.

Our Divorce Services for Foreigners in Vietnam

Divorce Consultation & Case Assessment

We provide personalised legal consultation to help you understand your options, including:

  • Eligibility for divorce under Vietnamese law
  • Mutual consent divorce vs. contested divorce
  • Jurisdiction issues for foreign marriages
  • Divorce process and estimated timelines
  • Even if your marriage was registered outside of Vietnam, we can guide you through the process of obtaining a legally recognised divorce.

Divorce Petition Filing & Legal Representation

We handle all court documentation and legal filings to ensure a smooth process, including:

  • Drafting and filing divorce petitions with the appropriate Vietnamese courts.
  • Representation in court proceedings if required.
  • Translation and notarisation of foreign marriage certificates and other legal documents.
  • Communication with local authorities & embassies to ensure compliance with international legal frameworks.

Asset Division & Property Settlements

Dividing marital assets in Vietnam can be complicated, especially if one or both spouses own real estate, bank accounts, or business interests in Vietnam. We assist with:

  • Negotiating fair asset division agreements
  • Property ownership rights & transfers
  • Bank accounts, financial assets & investments
  • Business ownership & corporate shares
  • Foreigners should be aware that Vietnamese law restricts property ownership for non-citizens—our legal experts can guide you through the implications.

Child Custody & Support Agreements

If children are involved, we help negotiate and formalise custody, visitation rights, and child support, ensuring:

  • Fair custody arrangements that align with Vietnamese family law.
  • Child support calculations & enforcement.
  • Parental rights for foreign residents.

Divorce for Mixed-Nationality Couples

If one spouse is Vietnamese and the other is a foreigner, additional legal considerations may apply. We provide:

  • Assistance with cross-border legal matters.
  • Guidance on international child custody & travel restrictions.
  • Support for name changes & legal status updates after divorce.
