A foreign document has no automatic effect in Brazil, and an act performed outside the country usually requires a step here to be valid.

CK Advogadas works on both.

The field of international law covers legal situations connected to Brazil and another country. See the most requested international law services in Turvânia, Goiás.
Assets located in Brazil are probated in Brazil. Art. 23, II, of the Code of Civil Procedure gives the Brazilian authority, to the exclusion of any other, jurisdiction over probate and division of assets located here, even if the deceased was a foreigner or domiciled abroad. Property in Turvânia owned by someone who died in another country is therefore not resolved by the foreign decision: it requires a Brazilian proceeding.
A simple uncontested divorce, which only dissolves the marriage, goes directly to the Civil Registry where the marriage was transcribed or registered, by annotation governed by the National Code of Rules of the National Inspectorate of Justice. A contested divorce, and a qualified uncontested one that deals with custody, support or division of assets, still depends on recognition by the STJ. The judgment may be recognized in parts.
The property regime does not automatically follow the law of the country of the ceremony. Art. 7, §4, of the Law of Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Law provides that the regime follows the law of the spouses' domicile and, if different, that of the first marital domicile. The consequence appears years later, in the division of assets or probate, when it is discussed what was common and what was separate property.
An acknowledgment made abroad must be transcribed to have effect in Brazil. If there is no voluntary acknowledgment, a paternity suit is possible, and it proceeds even with the other party living abroad, through service by the appropriate route, including international legal cooperation mechanisms.
Those who married in Brazil and live abroad can divorce here without coming back. If there is agreement, a public deed at a notary office is possible, with representation by an attorney-in-fact appointed by consular or apostilled instrument. With minor or incapacitated children, the deed requires custody, visitation and support to have already been defined in court. If there is a dispute or these issues are open, the route is judicial, with video hearings when applicable.
