Online divorce
Our services are accessible from anywhere in the world and include:
– Online legal consultation via email or telephone;
– Advice before and after divorce (regarding minor children, regulation of parental authority, – maintenance payments, family home, division of assets, etc.);
– Drafting of contracts and agreements and the preparation and delivery of all necessary documentation;
– Representation of our clients before registry offices, courts and finance departments;
– Transcription in the civil registry of divorces decreed in foreign countries.
If your divorce has already been decreed in a foreign country, you will now need to register it in the Portuguese civil registry, as this is the only way it will be effective in Portugal. In this case, the service to request should be the Recognition of Foreign Divorce service.
Our online divorce service presupposes the agreement of the spouses (divorce by mutual consent) and can be requested online on our website.
In addition to divorce, issues relating to custody and parental responsibilities (regulation of parental authority) are regulated with regard to minor children, if any, the allocation of the family home and the possible provision of maintenance to the spouse who is in need of maintenance. Divorce may also be combined with the division of the couple's joint assets.
In this context, the services available to our customers are two:
In cases where the spouses have already reached an agreement on all matters, the Simple Online Divorce service must be contracted, which includes the following services:
– Permanent monitoring of the client(s), via email, telephone or messenger, until the divorce is decreed;
– Preparation of the divorce petition;
– Drafting of agreements relating to (i) custody and parental responsibilities regarding children, (ii) the destination of the family home and (iii) the provision of maintenance to the spouse in need;
– Preparation of any changes to the agreements referred to above;
– Preparation of the specified list of common assets;
– Formalization of the divorce application at the Registry Office and delivery of the necessary documents and agreements;
– Representation of spouses at the “interested parties conference”, thus avoiding them having to travel to the Registry Office.
In cases where the spouses wish to divide their joint assets, our Online Divorce with Division of Assets service must be contracted, which covers the services already mentioned above and also the following additional services:
– Permanent legal support through consultations via email, telephone or Messenger;
