What usually ties those who live in Aventura to Brazil: a Miami-Dade County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and assets in Brazil.
For Brazilians in Aventura, CK Advogadas takes care of what needs to happen in Brazil: registry office, STJ, probate, property and records. What needs to happen in Florida stays with a lawyer licensed there. This division avoids redone documents and missed deadlines.
Without consular registration, a child born in Aventura has no Brazilian certificate, cannot obtain a Brazilian passport and is left out of inheritance matters in Brazil until it is regularized. When registration was not done at the time, the Florida birth certificate, issued by the Florida Department of Health and apostilled, is the basis for regularization.
When the Miami-Dade County Final Judgment also decides custody, support or division of assets, or when the divorce was contested, the judgment needs recognition by the Superior Court of Justice to have effect in Brazil. Until annotation or recognition, the marriage remains valid under Brazilian law, which prevents a new marriage in Brazil and complicates probate and the sale of property.
Birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates issued in Florida and documents signed by a notary public receive an apostille from the Florida Department of State. Then they receive a sworn translation in Brazil. The order matters: a translation done before the apostille is usually rejected.
Brazil and the United States are parties to the 1980 Hague Convention on international child abduction. Moving to another country with a child without the other parent's authorization may lead to a return request. A custody decision by the Miami-Dade County court only has effect in Brazil after recognition by the STJ.
Consular divorce is an alternative to the Miami-Dade County court proceeding when both spouses are Brazilian and in agreement. The act is done at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami, with the assistance of a lawyer required by art. 18, §2, of the Law of Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Law, does not require recognition by the STJ and is annotated at the registry office where the marriage is registered. Appointment availability and required documents vary and are confirmed in advance.
