I have been asked a couple of times about my divorce
In Hungary, divorce is granted based on the complete and irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This can be achieved through mutual consent or, if not, through a court determination of marital breakdown.
A mutual agreement, especially regarding children and property, can simplify the process.
The core basis for divorce is the complete and final breakdown of the marital relationship.
If both spouses agree to divorce and also agree on key issues like child custody, support, and property division, the process is generally smoother and may not require extensive court investigation.
If spouses don't agree on the divorce itself or the related issues, the court will investigate the circumstances and decide if the marriage has irretrievably broken down.
A divorce application is filed with the competent local court, usually based on the last known residence of the spouses.
The court will schedule a hearing where both parties are given the opportunity to present their case and address issues like child custody, support, and property division.
Evidence can be presented in the form of documents, physical exhibits, and witness testimonies.
The court may attempt reconciliation, especially if there are children involved.
If the court finds the marriage has irretrievably broken down, it will issue a divorce decree, officially ending the marriage.
Assets acquired during the marriage are generally considered jointly owned and are divided equally upon divorce.
The court will consider the specific circumstances of the case, including the length of the marriage, contributions of each spouse, and the needs of any children.
While not mandatory, legal representation by a Hungarian attorney experienced in family law is highly recommended to navigate the process and protect your rights.
There is a court fee of HUF 30,000 for filing a divorce application.
Additional costs may be incurred for legal fees and other expenses.
In summary, divorce in Hungary requires demonstrating the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, which can be achieved through mutual consent or a court decision.
The process involves court hearings, evidence presentation, and potentially negotiations regarding child custody, support, and property division.
My ex husband and I have had a very acute relationship breakdown and we were both very quick to look at all the issues we needed to resolve so that we could get a divorce settlement and accelerate our divorce.
