Unilateral Divorce 12/11/2024
The unilateral procedure is available where the statutory conditions are met, even without the other spouse's agreement. Preparation should connect the facts of the marital breakdown with the evidence and clearly identify any additional orders being requested. 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 05/10/2022
Where a foreign spouse does not agree to divorce, the applicant must still satisfy the legal grounds and procedural requirements. Reliable marriage records, the respondent's location and evidence supporting the requested child or property orders are especially important. 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 16/05/2025
Unilateral divorce in Vietnam allows one spouse to end the marriage without the other consent, especially when emotional bonds have faded. While lack of love is not a legal ground by itself, it often signals serious marital breakdown. To be granted a divorce, the petitioner must prove that the relationship has deteriorated to the point where cohabitation is no longer possible. 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 21/04/2025
With the rise of globalization and cross-border marriages, Vietnam has experienced an increasing number of consensual divorce cases involving foreign elements. While mutual consent divorces are generally straightforward, international factors such as one spouse being a foreign national or residing abroad introduce complexities into the legal process. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the legal framework and procedural requirements for consensual divorces in Vietnam involving foreign elements, drawing upon the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 and other pertinent legal instruments.

An international couple may agree to divorce yet still face document and participation requirements. Before filing a joint application, confirm the Vietnamese court's jurisdiction and prepare clear arrangements for children, property and any unresolved financial obligations.

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.
Consensual Divorce 29/08/2022
Recognition of consensual divorce is a court procedure, not simply registration of a private decision. The spouses should present a genuine joint request and explain their arrangements for children and property in terms the court can assess. 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.
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.
Property Division 21/06/2023
A divorce agreement between spouses does not automatically extinguish a creditor's rights. Responsibility for a debt must be assessed through its purpose, the circumstances of borrowing and the legal basis for treating it as a shared or personal obligation. 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 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 28/09/2022
Land-use rights can raise issues of ownership, permitted use and the practical form of a settlement. The certificate is important, but acquisition history, separate-property evidence, financial obligations and the relevant land rules also need to be examined. 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 18/10/2022
An overseas marriage and its recording in Vietnamese civil-status records are related but separate matters. Before seeking divorce, clarify how the marriage is evidenced and recognised, which records are available and whether any preliminary administrative step is needed. 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.

Financial strain, infidelity, violence and communication problems can affect a marriage in different ways. A legal assessment must distinguish the personal reasons for separation from the statutory grounds and evidence needed for a court to grant unilateral divorce. 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 04/09/2026

Divorce Counseling 22/05/2024
A child's rights do not depend on whether the parents registered a marriage. In an international situation, parentage, residence and jurisdiction may need to be established before the court can assess direct care, support and continuing parental involvement. 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.

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.
