Can the divorce be handled in a different place if both parties agree The answer is no. However, it is possible to divorce in a different place by going through the litigation process.
With the development of society and the change of people's concept of marriage, divorce is no longer an unspeakable topic. However, due to various reasons, many people will encounter situations where they cannot return to their place of residence when they get a divorce. So, can the divorce be handled in a different place if both parties agree to divorce?
First of all, we need to understand the legal provisions for divorce registration. According to the Marriage Registration Regulations, if a Mainland resident voluntarily divorces, both the man and the woman shall jointly go to the marriage registration authority at the place where one of the parties has a permanent residence to register the divorce. This means that if both parties agree to divorce and live together in a certain city, they can go through the divorce formalities at the marriage registration office in that city.
However, if both parties live in different cities, is it possible to get a divorce in a different place?This needs to be done on a case-by-case basis. If both parties live in different cities, but both are in the same province, then they can go to the marriage registration office where one of the parties is registered to go through the divorce formalities. However, if the parties live in different provinces, they need to go through the divorce procedures separately at the marriage registration office where their hukou is located.
In addition, it should be noted that if the parties have issues such as property division and child support that need to be resolved through negotiation, it is recommended to negotiate and communicate before formally going through the divorce procedures. If both parties can reach an agreement, they can sign a divorce agreement and go to the marriage registration office to go through the divorce formalities. If an agreement cannot be reached, the dispute will need to be resolved through litigation, etc.
In short, whether the divorce can be handled in a different place by mutual consent needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If both parties live in the same province, they can go through the divorce formalities at the marriage registration office where one of the parties has a household registration. However, if the parties live in different provinces, they need to go through the divorce procedures separately at the marriage registration office where their hukou is located. Before going through the divorce procedures, it is recommended that both parties negotiate and communicate first, and then proceed to the formal process after reaching an agreement.
