Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between uncontested and contested divorce?
Uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on the divorce, children and property, and is usually faster. Contested divorce is filed by one spouse, and the court decides the disputed issues.
Is mediation required before a land dispute goes to court?
For disputes over who holds the land use right, the law requires mediation at the commune-level People’s Committee before filing a lawsuit. A lawyer will check which type of dispute applies to you.
Who gets custody of a child under 36 months?
A child under 36 months is placed with the mother unless she is unable to care for the child or the parents agree otherwise in the child’s interest. From age 7 the child’s wishes must be considered (Article 81, Law on Marriage and Family 2014).
Can someone else attend the divorce on my behalf?
No. Under the Civil Procedure Code 2015, a party cannot authorise someone else to act in their place in divorce proceedings. A lawyer can still take part as the defender of your lawful rights and interests.
What is the limitation period for inheritance claims?
The period to claim division of an estate is 30 years for real estate and 10 years for movable property, from the opening of the succession (Article 623, Civil Code 2015).
The seller backed out after I paid a deposit. What now?
If the party receiving the deposit refuses to enter into or perform the contract, it must return the deposit plus an equal amount, unless the parties agreed otherwise (Article 328(2), Civil Code 2015).
