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.

Learn why a sham divorce creates legal risks in Vietnam and why an apparent court divorce should not be treated as a harmless private arrangement. The Law on Marriage and Family 2014 identifies sham divorce as using divorce to evade property obligations or achieve prohibited purposes without intending genuinely to terminate the marital relationship. Its prohibition should be considered alongside the actual facts and transactions involved. Examples requiring careful review include a purported divorce used to conceal assets from a creditor, misrepresent eligibility for a benefit or support a deceptive immigration arrangement.
