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 13/03/2025
After divorce, ownership questions may still need to be resolved or implemented. Reviewing the judgment, any property agreement and the acquisition records helps identify whether an asset was already dealt with or remains the subject of a further dispute. 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.
Unilateral Divorce 16/05/2025
This article provides an overview of unilateral divorce in Vietnam, where one spouse files for divorce without the other consent. It outlines legal grounds such as domestic violence, infidelity, and long-term separation, along with the evidence required and steps to file. 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.
Unilateral Divorce 19/04/2025
This article provides a comprehensive guide on what to do if your spouse refuses to get a divorce in Vietnam. It explains the legal concept of what is unilateral divorce, the conditions under which you can file, and how the court proceeds even when one party is uncooperative. You will find practical steps to prepare your case, protect your rights, and ensure the best outcome regarding child custody and property division.
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 05/12/2023
Mutual consent works best when it is reflected in clear and complete arrangements. Spouses should check the practical terms of parenting and financial agreements before filing, and recognise that a disagreement on an essential issue can affect the procedural route. 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 19/04/2025
In Vietnam, divorce can be pursued through either consensual divorce or unilateral divorce. A consensual divorce is where both spouses mutually agree on all matters such as asset division and child custody, making the process quicker, less costly, and less emotionally taxing. In contrast, a unilateral divorce occurs when one spouse files for divorce without the other consent, often involving complex legal procedures, evidence of marital breakdown, and potential disputes over children or property.
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.
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.
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.

Through this article, Jurion & Partners will help you understand the regulations regarding the division of real estate abroad.
Property Division 25/08/2022
Ending a marriage does not automatically cancel borrowing or transfer every liability to one spouse. The purpose of the debt, the parties' consent, the benefit to the family and the creditor's rights must be examined when deciding responsibility. 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 20/11/2025
Land disputes during divorce involve complex legal issues that require a comprehensive understanding of land regulations and family law. Clear knowledge of relevant legal concepts, statutory grounds and the role of applicable legislation enables each party to safeguard lawful rights and reduce conflicts throughout the divorce process. 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.

A child aged seven or older should have their wishes considered in a custody decision, but should not be made responsible for choosing the legal outcome. Parents should support a safe, age-appropriate process that avoids pressure or coaching. 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.

A valid cross-border marriage requires more than agreement between the couple.

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.

Divorce Counseling 08/12/2025
In many cases, life circumstances of parents may change significantly after divorce, directly affecting care and upbringing of children. Accordingly, law permits parents to request modification of direct child custody to ensure the best living environment for children. Such modification is based not only on parental wishes but must consider comprehensive interests of children, practical conditions, and relevant legal provisions. This procedure is crucial and requires clear understanding to avoid disputes and ensure a stable life for children.
Divorce Counseling 11/09/2022

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 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.
