International divorce and family law in Brazil

Legal assistance for foreign nationals and international families whose divorce, custody, child support or property matters involve Brazil.

If the marriage was registered in Brazil, if a spouse or the children live there, or if there are assets in the country, Brazilian law will govern at least part of the matter. We communicate with you in English throughout, and the initial consultation can be held by video call, WhatsApp or phone. Proceedings before Brazilian courts and notaries are conducted in Portuguese.
