Quick answers for overseas clients
Common questions this site answers.
Can I divorce in China if I married abroad?
Possibly, if the case has a lawful China connection. The correct path is usually court litigation or mediation, not civil registry divorce.
Can Chinese courts divide overseas property?
Chinese courts generally cannot directly transfer overseas real estate or offshore interests. Value compensation and asset offset strategies may be considered.
Will China recognize my foreign divorce decree?
Recognition usually focuses on marital status. Property and custody parts require separate analysis under Chinese law and court practice.
