What is the best way to formalize the divorce? | Complain in advance

Although I have been separated for almost 40 years, I have now decided to formalize the divorce. How should I proceed to start this process? I do not have minor children and the divorce will be consensual. Aparecida de Souza, Bangu.

Ligia Oliveira, a lawyer specializing in Family Law, explains that consensual divorce, without minor children, can be carried out extrajudicially, directly at the registry office or judicially. “In both cases, it is necessary for the parties to appoint a lawyer to represent them, separately or jointly”, she emphasizes.

The main distinction between these modalities lies in the time required to complete the process. In an extrajudicial divorce, it is necessary to pay the notary’s fees and fees for the necessary certificates and endorsements, and the amount relating to the notary’s documents must be paid immediately. The deadline to resolve, on average, is 3 to 5 days.

On the other hand, in judicial divorce, in addition to the legal fees paid to initiate the process, it is also necessary to pay a lawyer to represent the parties. The period is longer, taking, on average, 8 to 12 months for the divorce to be decreed.

“In both cases it is possible to have free access to justice or notary acts, requiring proof of insufficient resources”, explains the lawyer.

When you understand the differences between these processes, it is possible to make a decision that meets your needs, highlights lawyer Átila Nunes from the service www.reclamaradianta.com.br. The service is free via [email protected] or via WhatsApp (21) 993289328.
