Going through a divorce is never easy, especially when you are stationed thousands of miles away from home. But whether it is rain or shine, our team is consistently at the Okinawa Family Court, ensuring our clients’ legal documents are handled with precision and care.
If you are a US service member, SOFA status personnel, or a US citizen married to another US citizen, navigating the legal requirements of an overseas divorce can feel daunting. That is where we step in. Our goal is to provide the cheapest, fastest, and best option for couples seeking an uncontested divorce in Okinawa.
- The Fastest Option: Time is often of the essence, particularly with military deployments or PCS moves on the horizon. Our uncontested divorce process typically takes just 1 to 2 months from the initial inquiry to the issuance of your official divorce decree. We act quickly so you can move forward.
- The Most Affordable Choice: Legal divorce in the states can cost thousands of dollars. By utilizing our services for a mutual agreement divorce, you can completely bypass expensive lawyer fees. We handle all the comprehensive assistance, including Japanese document completion, certified English translations, and court-appointed interpreters.
- The Best Legal Protection: You might wonder, “Is a Japanese divorce recognized in the US?” Absolutely. Because both Japan and the US participate in the Hague Convention, your divorce will follow the state law of your last stateside residence. We meticulously process your paperwork at the family court to ensure your child custody, asset allocation, and alimony agreements are legally binding and fully enforceable back home.
Even on the stormiest, rainiest mornings, we are up early and at the courthouse getting cases officially filed. If you and your spouse have reached a mutual agreement and want to save time and money, visit our website today to get started.
