Unilateral Divorce 22/10/2024
A foreign applicant must address both the basis for Vietnamese jurisdiction and the grounds for unilateral divorce. Evidence about the marriage, the respondent's location and the specific orders requested should be organised before the petition is filed. The discussion explains the preparation issues that international families should consider before filing. It connects document readiness with procedural requirements and highlights the need to assess overseas residence, service and practical participation without assuming that every case follows the same timetable.
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 16/08/2022
When a divorce has foreign elements and one spouse does not agree, jurisdiction and proper notice deserve early attention. Residence, nationality, the respondent's location and the available documents can affect both the procedure and the preparation required. The discussion explains the preparation issues that international families should consider before filing. It connects document readiness with procedural requirements and highlights the need to assess overseas residence, service and practical participation without assuming that every case follows the same timetable.
Unilateral Divorce 06/09/2025
A Vietnam divorce may proceed despite a spouse's absence, but lawful notification, the reason for non-attendance and the court's assessment remain essential. A spouse’s failure to attend does not, by itself, prove the legal grounds for divorce or establish every claim made by the attending party. Vietnamese courts must assess the marriage, the relief requested and the relevant evidence under Vietnamese procedural law. It is useful to distinguish a spouse who refuses to cooperate, a spouse who cannot attend for a legitimate reason, a spouse living overseas and a person formally declared missing.
Consensual Divorce 29/08/2025
Divorce is never easy, but when both husband and wife mutually agree, it becomes a Consensual Divorce, which is generally faster and less stressful than a contested case. Unlike unilateral divorce, this process is based on cooperation, reducing emotional and financial burdens while maintaining dignity, especially for couples with children. 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.
Consensual Divorce 26/08/2022
A joint divorce application should accurately reflect what both spouses have agreed. It needs more than matching signatures: the terms on children, support and financial matters must be clear enough for the court to examine their legality and fairness. 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 28/09/2022
The document file should support the couple's actual request, not merely follow an internet checklist. Marriage and identity records are central, while child, asset and debt documents depend on the issues the spouses ask the court to resolve. 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 07/02/2023
A property dispute may remain after the marriage has ended. Resolving it requires a careful inventory, proof of how each asset was acquired and consideration of any earlier agreement or judgment, rather than an assumption that the divorce divided everything. 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 08/08/2022
Living together as husband and wife does not automatically create the same property regime as a registered marriage. Resolving ownership requires attention to the parties' agreements, acquisition records and contributions, while children's rights remain a separate issue requiring protection. 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 05/02/2026
Legal consequences of disspation of marital assets during divorce? In divorce cases involving property disputes, this issue represents one of the greatest concerns. Without a clear understanding of the definition of common marital property, the concept of asset dissipation, and the related legal consequences, the party whose lawful rights and interests are affected may easily be placed in a disadvantaged position when the Court settles the case. Reviewing the relevant records before taking action helps identify the evidence still needed and the questions that require individual legal advice.
Property Division 20/09/2022
A divorce settlement should begin by identifying the applicable property regime and distinguishing joint assets from separate ownership. Where agreement is not possible, the court examines the relevant evidence and statutory factors rather than relying only on whose name appears on a document. 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 25/10/2024
A custody dispute involving a foreign parent should focus on the child's welfare and a practical plan for care. The proposed living arrangements, schooling, support and contact with both parents need to be supported by reliable evidence. 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.

Divorce Counseling 26/10/2024
