Many countries recognize foreign divorces. Parties who have filed for a divorce in their home country can usually render document translation services to translate their divorce decree into the official language of the nation they are moving to. However, Chile gives foreigners a hard time when they present their divorce decree obtained from another country. Chile considers such documents valid only if they do not contradict the country’s updated and stringent divorce laws. Translating the document into Spanish is one out of many things that need to go right in order for Chile to consider the divorce certificate valid. Divorce decrees must ultimately be reviewed and approved by the Chilean Supreme Court.
However, in most cases such documents are rejected because they either fail to fulfill the Chilean requirements for divorce or they were not issued before a judge. Unofficial methods such as mediation or annulments are not acceptable forms of divorce in Chile even if the foreigners provide the translation of documents proving that in their homeland this divorce is officially recognized. The primary reason for strict divorce laws in Chile is to discourage citizens from taking advantage of more divorce-friendly legal systems in other countries.
