Preparation:
- Brazilian and foreign documents;
- Powers and declarations of consent.
International divorce decrees, change of name, marital status, adoption, etc. before the Supreme Court and notaries
According to Brazilian law, any foreign decision or sentence – divorce, adoption, change of name, etc. – will only be valid in Brazil,
after it has been ratified (recognized) by the Supreme Court of Justice (STJ), in Brasília/DF.
What does “Homologate” mean?
It means recognizing the decision of a judicial act rendered in a foreign country.
HOMOLOGATION OF DIVORCE
Many Brazilians do not know that the marriage held abroad is valid in Brazil, even if it has not been registered at the Brazilian Consulate and/or in Brazil. And they ignore that if there is divorce abroad, it must be ratified by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ).
Peters Advogados Associados provides legal advice
at all stages of the homologation process
From the beginning, in the preparation of Brazilian and foreign documents, until the final phase, after the homologation by the STJ and the registration of the decision with the Notary Public:
HOMOLOGATION OF CONSENSUAL DIVORCE PURE OR SIMPLE:
Simple or pure consensual divorce: consists exclusively in the dissolution of the marriage, without involving custody of children, maintenance or sharing of property. In this case, it is not necessary to homologate the foreign decision with the STJ but to request the registration of the divorce directly with the Civil Registry Office in Brazil.
