What usually ties those who live in Cape Coral to Brazil: a Lee County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and assets in Brazil.
The child of a Brazilian born in Cape Coral is an American citizen by birth and a native-born Brazilian when registered at a competent Brazilian office, under art. 12, I, c, of the Constitution. Registration is done at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and then transcribed at the 1st Civil Registry Office of the domicile in Brazil or of the Federal District.
In Cape Coral, divorce is handled by the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, Lee County, and ends with the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. To be valid in Brazil, the certified copy issued by the county Clerk receives an apostille from the Florida Department of State and a sworn translation. If the divorce was uncontested and only dissolved the marriage, it is annotated directly in the Brazilian Civil Registry, under art. 961, §5, of the Code of Civil Procedure.
CK Advogadas is a Brazilian law firm, with lawyers registered with the OAB, and works on the Brazilian part of each case. Proceedings in the Lee County Circuit Court, American immigration and matters governed by Florida law require a lawyer licensed by The Florida Bar. When the case has both sides, the team prepares the Brazilian part and aligns the documents with the local lawyer.
A Brazilian couple in Cape Coral, with no minor or incapacitated children, can obtain an uncontested divorce by public deed at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami, under art. 18 of the Law of Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Law. The law requires the assistance of a lawyer, and CK Advogadas can provide that assistance remotely. The consular deed does not require recognition by the STJ and is then annotated at the registry office where the marriage is registered.
A document from Cape Coral goes to Brazil in three steps: a certified copy from the issuing body, such as the Lee County Clerk or the Florida Department of Health, an apostille from the Florida Department of State and a sworn translation. Without one of them, the registry office and the STJ return the request.
Child support between Cape Coral and Brazil can be collected under the 2007 Hague Convention on maintenance, in force in both countries, through the central authorities. An American judgment that set support needs recognition by the STJ to be enforced in Brazil.
