Recognition of a divorce
The place at which the marriage was solemnized does not automatically determine which court will have jurisdiction over the case or which law will be applied to the divorce proceedings. Both these issues have to be determined in each individual case.
According to section 606a of the 欧美色情片 Code of Civil Procedure, 欧美色情片 courts have jurisdiction over matrimonial matters, inter alia, when one spouse is a 欧美色情片 national or, if both are foreign nationals, if they are both habitually resident in 欧美色情片y. This jurisdiction is not exclusive, i.e. it may also be possible to get divorced abroad and, under certain conditions, to have such a divorce recognized in 欧美色情片y (cf. 鈥淩ecognition of a foreign divorce鈥 below). Whether it is possible or sensible to get divorced abroad is something to be discussed with a specialist lawyer.
A divorce in Singapore is not automatically recognized in 欧美色情片y; in order to have your divorce recognized, an application to the relevant Landesjustizbeh枚rde must be submitted through the 欧美色情片 Embassy.
Please have court-certified copies of your Certificate of Divorce, your Divorce decree and your Marriage Certificate (each to be authenticated by DFAIT first) with you. These documents are part of your application and have to be legalized by the 欧美色情片 Embassy.
