Reading About Divorce Certificate Translations and Certified Translations
By Credit Watcher | September 9, 2010
Getting divorced is a complicated process, which sometimes can cost a lot of nerves, a lot of money, and overcoming a number of obstacles such as making arrangement for children, if such are involved. To make matters worse, if both parties are aliens, immigrants, green card holders, or they have simply been married in a foreign country, they will need Certificate Translation of a number of important documents. Usually a certain procedure is followed before one is able to get a divorce. Applying for a divorce is the first step in the process and either party can do it by simply filing a petition. Petitioner is the person who has filed the petition and respondent is the one against whom the petition is filed. A co-respondent is the person who has committed adultery with the respondent and is specifically mentioned in the petition. There may be of course other participants in the process. Once the petition is filed, it has to unearth the reasons for which the marriage has failed and the partners want to separate. Among those reasons we can note: behavior by the respondent that renders the petitioner not being able to live with the respondent; adultery committed by the respondent that results in the petitioner finding it intolerable to live with the respondent; abandoning of the petitioner by the respondent for a period of two years; separation for five years; separation for two years, which leads to the parties agreeing to divorce.
If the parties have any children or what their occupations are and where they live, are among the other facts that must be unearthed before the court makes a decision. If the petitioner wishes the respondent and/or co-respondent to pay the costs of the petition, he/she must explicitly claim the costs in the petition, otherwise no costs can be claimed after the divorce has been granted. In cases like this, there must be co-operation between the parties, so it is a good idea to show the draft petition to the respondent before it is filed. Some additional documents are also required to be sent to the court in addition to the petition. The most important ones can be limited to the following: a reconciliation statement; the court fee; statement of arrangements for any children of the family, which determines with which parent they will live, what contacts they will have with the other parent, where the children will live, and which school they will attend; copies of the petition for service on the respondent; the marriage license and if the parties were married abroad a Marriage Certificate Translation.
If the judge is satisfied that the petitioner is entitled to a divorce after he/she has considered the documents, entitlement to a decree can finally be granted by him/her. Even though it is very unusual, it may happen that the judge is not satisfied, in which case he/she allows the petitioner to find more evidence. The parties receive the decree after it has been sent by the court which first issues it following a certain procedure. The couple are divorced and free to remarry once the divorce has been issued by the court. The petitioner or the respondent may decide to leave the country and settle in a new one. In this case a Divorce Certificate Translation will be required in the language of the intended country.
