Unilateral Divorce 20/02/2025
A restricted right to file is different from a case that lacks sufficient evidence or contains procedural errors. Understanding the reason a request cannot proceed helps determine whether documents can be corrected, further evidence is needed or a statutory restriction applies. 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.
Unilateral Divorce 15/04/2025
Unilateral divorce in Vietnam can still be pursued even when both spouses reside overseas. Navigating a unilateral divorce under Vietnamese law can be challenging when both spouses are living abroad. This comprehensive guide explains your legal rights, the required documents, and how to proceed under Vietnamese law. International cases require a consistent record of nationality, residence, marriage and the other party’s location. Foreign-issued documents and the expected effect of the outcome overseas should be assessed before deciding how to prepare the Vietnamese procedure.
Unilateral Divorce 13/03/2025
A refusal to accept a petition and a rejection of the divorce claim on its merits are different outcomes. The reason matters: some filing problems may be corrected, while a statutory restriction or lack of established grounds requires a different assessment. 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.
Unilateral Divorce 12/04/2025
Adultery is considered a serious violation of marital duties and can be used as legal grounds for divorce. Evidence such as messages, photos, witness statements, or hotel receipts can support your case. The unilateral divorce process includes filing a petition at the People Court, attending court led reconciliation and going through trial proceedings where the court will decide on child custody, property division and spousal support. Reviewing the relevant records before taking action helps identify the evidence still needed and the questions that require individual legal advice.
Consensual Divorce 13/08/2022
Consensual divorce depends on genuine agreement and workable arrangements that protect the legitimate interests of the wife and children. A signed application alone does not end the marriage: the competent court must review the request and issue the appropriate decision. 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 22/08/2022
An agreement may change before the court resolves a consensual divorce request. The revised terms must remain voluntary and protect the relevant family interests; unresolved disagreements can affect whether the matter can continue through the consensual procedure. 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 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 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.
Property Division 03/04/2026
In the context of global integration, it is increasingly common for married couples to own joint real estate (houses and apartments) abroad. However, when deciding to divorce, the issue of dividing real estate abroad becomes a complex legal hurdle. The biggest question often arises: Which court—Vietnamese or foreign—has jurisdiction to handle this matter? Through this article, Jurion & Partners will help you understand the regulations regarding the division of real estate abroad.
Property Division 12/10/2022
Spouses may negotiate a property settlement or ask the court to determine disputed assets. In either situation, the asset list should be supported by records showing acquisition, ownership, contributions and related financial obligations. 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 18/08/2026
A practical legal guide for foreign spouses and expats dealing with divorce in Vietnam where marital assets are located in another country and neither spouse is a citizen of that asset country. 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.
Property Division 05/12/2022
A gift received during marriage is not classified solely by the date it was given. The intended recipient, the terms of the gift and the way ownership was documented can be central when distinguishing separate property from a joint asset. 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 18/10/2023
The divorce decision may resolve marital status while leaving practical work to complete. Parents may need to implement care arrangements, address support and maintain contact, while property terms or outstanding obligations can require separate follow-up. 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 Lawyers 26/12/2025
Prepare a foreign divorce judgment for review in Vietnam by checking the requested legal effect, finality, service records, translation and recognition route. A foreign divorce document may be needed for several different purposes: updating civil status, proving that a marriage has ended, enforcing a financial obligation or addressing a related parenting or property issue. These purposes should be identified before selecting a procedure. Civil-status recording, recognition by a Vietnamese court and enforcement of a particular order are not interchangeable.
Divorce Counseling 12/11/2022

Divorce Counseling 09/09/2026
A practical legal guide for foreign parents, expats, overseas Vietnamese, and mixed nationality parents dealing with child custody for unmarried parents in Vietnam, including parentage, evidence, child support, visitation, and court considerations.

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.
