Unilateral Divorce 29/08/2022
Custody decisions focus on the child's interests and the parents' actual ability to provide care. A higher income alone does not determine the outcome; daily involvement, stability, education, health and the child's age can all be relevant. The discussion considers the child’s welfare, the evidence parents can prepare and the practical effect of the proposed arrangement. It also distinguishes direct care from continuing support and contact obligations, so the request can be assessed on its own facts.
Unilateral Divorce 06/03/2026
Divorce with a foreign spouse because of loss of contact frequently occurs in marriages involving foreign elements. In practice, many marriages between a Vietnamese citizen and a foreign national encounter a situation where one spouse leaves Vietnam and communication stops for a long period. In such circumstances, the remaining spouse may wish to terminate the marital relationship but may not understand the legal procedure because communication with the other party cannot be established.
Unilateral Divorce 04/07/2025
In a divorce, gaining custody means obtaining the legal right and responsibility to care for and make decisions for your child, including daily care, education, and emotional support. In Vietnam, especially in unilateral divorces, where only one spouse files for divorce, custody battles can be emotionally and legally complex. This article explains how unilateral divorce works under Vietnamese law, what the court considers in custody decisions, and what parents need to prepare to strengthen their case. Jurion & Partners also provides expert legal services to support you through this process.
Unilateral Divorce 11/04/2025
In Vietnam, many individuals remain trapped in unhappy marriages simply because their spouse refuses to agree to a divorce. This article provides an in-depth look into what is unilateral divorce, the legal procedure that allows one spouse to file for divorce without the other consent. The article also guides readers through important post-divorce considerations, including property division, child custody, and spousal obligations. The appropriate next step depends on the level of agreement, available evidence and any issues concerning children, property or debts.
Consensual Divorce 10/10/2022
Consensual divorce can be more focused when the spouses have genuinely resolved the relevant issues. Its duration still depends on document preparation, court review and participation, so a general estimate should not be treated as a guaranteed completion date. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Consensual Divorce 23/04/2025
Review cross-border agreements in a Vietnam consensual divorce, including children abroad, foreign assets, translation and recognition after judgment. A consensual divorce involving foreign elements depends on voluntary agreement and legally suitable arrangements, rather than nationality alone. Spouses may agree to end the marriage but still disagree on children, property or debts. Those disagreements should be identified before the request is presented as fully consensual. For an overseas spouse, practical cooperation also matters: signing the correct documents, providing an accurate address and responding to the court’s requirements.
Consensual Divorce 26/08/2022
Agreement to divorce and permission to miss a court session are different issues. A spouse's overseas residence or inability to attend must be assessed under procedural rules, and the court may still need to verify the parties' personal wishes. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Consensual Divorce 31/01/2026
Divorce cases involving foreign nationals in Vietnam are governed by a combination of family law, civil procedure law, and private international law principles.

Failure to comply with these requirements often leads to case rejection or prolonged proceedings. This article provides a practical legal guide to divorce for foreigners in Vietnam, including legal grounds, court competence, procedural steps, and a clear checklist of required documents. With a dedicated and professional legal team, we are committed to accompanying you throughout the entire divorce process.
Property Division 04/09/2026
Divorce in Vietnam involving company shares, capital contributions, business income and ownership interests can require careful asset valuation and evidence review. Preparation should connect each disputed asset or obligation with dated records, the source of funds, relevant agreements and the position of any third party. A lawyer can assess these materials alongside the divorce request before a settlement is signed. Reviewing the relevant records before taking action helps identify the evidence still needed and the questions that require individual legal advice.
Property Division 23/08/2022
Spouses can agree on property issues, but the agreement should describe the assets and obligations clearly. Identifying ownership, outstanding debts and any third-party interests helps avoid a settlement that appears complete but leaves significant disputes unresolved. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.
Property Division 17/08/2022
A property dispute often turns on how an asset was acquired and what the documents show. Ownership records, gifts, inheritances, contributions and financial obligations should be examined before either spouse assumes that a particular asset must be divided equally. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.
Property Division 02/06/2023
Dividing land-use rights requires attention to both family property rules and the legal characteristics of the land. Records of acquisition, contributions and permitted use help determine whether a practical division or a value-based settlement should be considered. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.

Divorce Lawyers 29/10/2022
Choosing a divorce lawyer involves understanding the work required in the specific case. Document review, legal analysis, negotiation and procedural assistance can all be relevant, but the scope of the engagement should remain clear and realistic. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.

The right to stay of a spouse upon divorce is an essential legal mechanism designed to balance the interests of both parties after the termination of marriage. Understanding regulations on the right of residence, post-divorce residence rights, and the applicable duration of residence helps individuals better protect lawful interests and ensures that divorce proceedings are conducted in a civilized, humane, and lawful manner. The appropriate next step depends on the level of agreement, available evidence and any issues concerning children, property or debts.
Divorce Counseling 27/10/2022
Divorce from a Vietnamese spouse may be consensual or contested depending on the actual level of agreement. Nationality is only part of the assessment; residence, the other spouse's location and the situation of children or assets also matter. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Divorce Counseling 21/10/2022
A property agreement should say what each spouse will receive and how the arrangement will be implemented. Clear descriptions, reliable ownership records and a realistic treatment of loans or third-party rights can prevent later disagreement about its effect. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.

Adultery violates not only moral principles but also legal regulations under Vietnamese law. Understanding the administrative and criminal penalties associated with adultery helps reduce such incidents, promote respect for marital fidelity, and uphold the integrity of the legal system. The appropriate next step depends on the level of agreement, available evidence and any issues concerning children, property or debts. Preparing a clear chronology and consistent records helps distinguish the legal questions from practical difficulties that need individual review.
Divorce Counseling 07/11/2022
A request for direct custody should demonstrate the care a parent can actually provide. Financial records help, but they should be considered alongside time, housing, schooling, emotional support and the child's established routines and relationships. The discussion considers the child’s welfare, the evidence parents can prepare and the practical effect of the proposed arrangement. It also distinguishes direct care from continuing support and contact obligations, so the request can be assessed on its own facts.
