What usually ties those who live in St. Petersburg to Brazil: a Pinellas County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Orlando and assets in Brazil.
An American divorce does not erase the marriage at the Brazilian registry office. Those who live in St. Petersburg and divorced in the Pinellas County court need to take the judgment to Brazil: direct annotation if the divorce was a simple uncontested one, recognition by the STJ in other cases. Reading the judgment defines the route.
The child of a Brazilian born in St. Petersburg 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 Orlando and then transcribed at the 1st Civil Registry Office of the domicile in Brazil or of the Federal District.
Brazilian law governs what is in Brazil and Florida law governs what happens in St. Petersburg. 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, 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.
To sell property in Brazil while living in St. Petersburg, the power of attorney needs special powers and public form. The safest route is to execute it at the Consulate General of Brazil in Orlando. With it, the attorney-in-fact signs the deed in Brazil, and CK Advogadas follows the certificates, taxes and registration.
Child support between St. Petersburg 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.
Service starts with the document: judgment, certificate or property record. With it, the team defines the route in Brazil, the document list and what must be done at the consulate. The history is centralized so you can follow each step from St. Petersburg.
