Five Common Types of Divorce Between China and Hong Kong
Divorce cases involving both Hong Kong and mainland Chinese parties can be more complex. Here are the main situations we handle:
01
Marriage Registered in Mainland China
One spouse has returned to China and is unreachable, with no marriage certificate or ID available.
02
Unilateral Divorce with Disputes
One party applies for divorce, but there is no agreement on property division or child custody.
03
Divorce Through Hong Kong Courts
Both parties divorce in Hong Kong without settling property or assets registered under one spouse’s name.
04
Marriage Registered in Hong Kong with Missing Spouse
The couple registered in Hong Kong, but one partner disappeared and cannot be contacted.
05
One-Sided Refusal to Divorce
One party firmly opposes divorce and refuses to cooperate with legal proceedings.
Our team provides tailored legal solutions for each of these situations, ensuring clarity and efficiency across both legal systems.
Four Key Divorce Procedures Between China and Hong Kong
01
Jurisdiction for Divorce in Hong Kong
Even if you married in mainland China, you can file for divorce in Hong Kong if:
- One party is domiciled in Hong Kong,
- One party has lived in Hong Kong for the past 3 years
- One party has a substantial connection to Hong Kong.
02
Recognition of Overseas Marriages
Marriages registered overseas, including in mainland China, are generally recognized in Hong Kong if they followed local legal procedures.
03
Property and Asset Division
Hong Kong and mainland China have different systems for property ownership, joint debts, and maintenance. We help ensure a fair division of real estate, assets, and liabilities under both legal frameworks.
04
Maintenance and Joint Debt Arrangements
We guide clients through spousal and child maintenance issues, as well as resolving joint debt obligations, according to the applicable laws in both Hong Kong and China.
