What usually ties those who live in Parkland to Brazil: a Broward County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and assets in Brazil.
Brazilian law governs what is in Brazil and Florida law governs what happens in Parkland. CK Advogadas works in the first field. In the second, the proceeding is handled by a lawyer licensed in Florida, and the team indicates which American documents will be needed later in Brazil.
Birth registration for a Brazilian's child in Parkland is done by the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami. The consular certificate is then transcribed at a registry office in Brazil to have full effect, including school enrollment, CPF (Brazilian taxpayer number) and inheritance. The team guides the sequence and the documents for each step.
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.
Property located in Brazil is probated in Brazil, under art. 23, II, of the Code of Civil Procedure, even if the deceased lived in Parkland. Heirs in Florida take part through a power of attorney executed at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami. If adult and capable heirs agree, probate can be done by deed at a notary office.
Child support between Parkland 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.
Consular divorce is an alternative to the Broward 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.
