Getting Divorced in Costa Rica
|
- By mutual consent. This, of course, requires that both
parties agree on child support, child custody, dissolution
of assets, etc. We believe this can actually be done without
a lawyer but wouldn't try it. It may take a year or more
for the courts to recognize this, PANI to approve it, etc.
- The judge can declare divorce by separation if the parties
have been approved by the court as separated for one year,
which means counting from the date of court approval of
the separation. I think you have to attend counseling or
reconciliation meetings or something to do this.
- Separation for at least three years. We are not sure how
you prove this.
- Of course there is divorce for cause, too, but it does
not sound like this applies, and is lengthy and usually
difficult to prove.
