Navigating a divorce while stationed overseas adds unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. Between military duties, deployment schedules, and living in a foreign country, a long, drawn-out legal battle is the last thing you need.
If you are a US service member on Okinawa seeking a mutual agreement divorce from another US citizen, there is a streamlined, legally binding path forward. Our team specializes in processing uncontested divorces through the Okinawa Family Court, and we can secure your hearing date in record time—just 28 days.
How the 28-Day Process Works
When both parties are US citizens and in full agreement on the terms of the separation—including child custody, division of assets, and alimony—you do not need an expensive stateside attorney. The Okinawa Family Court handles mutual agreement divorces under US State Law, and the final decree is fully recognized in the United States under the Hague Convention.
Here is how we get you to the finish line in under a month:
- Document Preparation & Translation: You provide your marriage certificate, passports, and we do the rest. We immediately get to work accurately translating everything into Japanese.
- Filing on Your Behalf: We complete and submit the official application to the Okinawa Family Court for you. Neither you nor your spouse needs to miss work to file the paperwork.
- The 28-Day Turnaround: Because we know exactly what the court requires, your paperwork is accepted without delay. We secure your court date in as little as 28 days.
- The Hearing: Both you and your spouse attend a brief 30-minute hearing at the Family Court. We arrange for court-appointed English interpreters to be there so you understand everything.
- Certified Decrees: Once the court issues the final Japanese divorce decree, we provide certified English translations so you can immediately update your DEERS, MPF, and stateside records.
