At the Dave Higgins Office, we are constantly streamlining the legal processes for our clients. We are excited to announce that early yesterday morning, we submitted a new US-to-US divorce petition to the Japanese family court here in Okinawa. We are confident this case will be finalized in under 45 days, with a hearing date expected in roughly one month.
This is a significant update for all US service members, SOFA status personnel, and American civilians on the island. We want you to know: if you are a US citizen seeking a divorce from your US spouse in Okinawa, we can make the process easy, fast, and straightforward.
Many clients are concerned about the complexities of international law, but our process is proven and efficient. Here’s what you need to know:
- No Children? An Even Faster Process: For couples without children, the divorce process is expedited, allowing for an even quicker resolution.
- Married Elsewhere? No Problem: It does not matter where in the world you were married. If you are a US citizen residing in Okinawa, we can handle your case.
- What About Kids? A Fair and Simple Process: If you have children, the process remains just as straightforward. We ensure the divorce is completed fairly for both parties, following the same efficient method, so you can move forward with a clear and just resolution.
We are very experienced in navigating the Japanese family court system for US-to-US divorces, ensuring your case is handled with professionalism and speed. You don’t have to wait for a difficult process. We are here to help you get it done quickly and fairly.
