Divorce
It’s terrible but true, a lot of marriages end up in divorce and if your relationship has come to the end of the line you’ll not want to walk into that minefield in Japan without knowing just what might be waiting for you. Below you will find information about procedures when divorcing in Japan. However sometimes you can also choose to file for a divorce in another country, your home country, which may or may not make the procedure more simple. This is regulated by International Private Law and Processes and to learn more you will need to look into your home country’s laws. Also make sure that you understand what the effect will be in Japan, for example custody of children granted in a foreign court is not always accepted by Japanese law and you could therefore face yet another custody hearing in Japan.
