Frequently asked questions about divorce:
What is express divorce?
An express divorce is known as one that can be carried out without the consent of the spouse. This is why divorce can be unilateral, that is, making the request individually.
What should I do if I want to get divorced?
If you want to get divorced, you must submit a request to the judge who has jurisdiction in your domicile. On the other hand, you must present a proposal that expresses the distribution of assets, the alimony fee if applicable, the allocation of housing and the communication regime with the children, if you have them.
Do I have to explain to the judge why I want a divorce?
It is not necessary to explain to the judge the reason why you decide to divorce. In the past, it was an essential requirement but since the reform of the National Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina, this explanation is no longer necessary.
Can I get divorced even if my partner doesn't want to?
Of course, a divorce can be requested unilaterally and independently of the spouse's decision. This speeds up obtaining the ruling that ends the marriage and allows the person to rebuild their life as soon as possible.
What is a divorce by mutual agreement?
An uncontested divorce is one that is carried out through a divorce petition and the joint presentation of an agreement by both spouses.
Is a divorce possible with a single lawyer?
It is possible but not recommended since each of the parties must know their rights and a single lawyer could be impartial. In any case, you can consult our studio for further advice.
