What usually ties those who live in Sunny Isles Beach to Brazil: a Miami-Dade County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami and assets in Brazil.
In Sunny Isles Beach, divorce is handled by the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade 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.
Birth registration for a Brazilian's child in Sunny Isles Beach 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.
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 Miami-Dade 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.
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.
