Living in Deerfield Beach, Florida, with a divorce, marriage, child or property connected to Brazil? CK Advogadas handles the Brazilian side remotely, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, with lawyers registered with the OAB (Brazilian Bar).
A decision by the Broward County court and a certificate issued in Florida are not automatically valid in Brazil. For those living in Deerfield Beach, the route involves an apostille, a sworn translation and, depending on the case, annotation at a registry office or recognition by the STJ. CK Advogadas organizes the sequence and represents the client in Brazil.

What usually ties those who live in Deerfield Beach to Brazil: a Broward County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and assets in Brazil.
Without consular registration, a child born in Deerfield Beach 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 Broward 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.
For Brazilians in Deerfield Beach, 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.
A document from Deerfield Beach goes to Brazil in three steps: a certified copy from the issuing body, such as the Broward 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.
A Brazilian couple in Deerfield Beach, 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.
