DIVORCE BY POWER OF ATTORNEY

If you are abroad and wish to get a divorce in Portugal through a power of attorney, it is possible to proceed with this process by following the appropriate legal procedures. A specialized international law attorney will represent you in the divorce process.

They will act as your legal proxy and handle all legal matters related to the divorce on your behalf. They will provide you with a list of documents required for the divorce, which may include authenticated copies of passports, marriage certificates, proof of residence, etc.

The power of attorney must be notarized by a public notary or consular authority in the country where you are located. This will authenticate your signature and make the power of attorney valid in Portuguese courts. Your physical presence in court is not required.

However, depending on the circumstances, it may be necessary for you to appear in person in a Portuguese court at some point during the process. If this is required, your attorney will inform you of the date and necessary steps.

Please keep in mind that divorce, even if amicable, is a bureaucratic process and may vary depending on the laws and regulations in force in Portugal and the country where you are currently residing.

It is highly recommended to seek legal guidance from an attorney who specializes in your specific case to ensure that all steps are followed correctly and that your interests are adequately represented during the divorce process, especially if you have future interests related to nationality. #portugal #divorce #attorney
