A foreign document has no automatic effect in Brazil, and an act performed outside the country usually requires a step here to be valid. Two situations come up often: those who live in Pérola d'Oeste and married, divorced or inherited abroad, and those who left Pérola d'Oeste and need to resolve something that stayed in Brazil. CK Advogadas works on both.

A marriage celebrated abroad is valid, but it only has full effect in Brazil after it is registered here. The usual sequence is registration at the Brazilian consulate of the country of celebration and then transcription of the certificate at the competent Civil Registry in Brazil. Without that transcription, the marriage does not appear on Brazilian certificates and cannot be annotated or dissolved in the country.
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 Pérola d'Oeste owned by someone who died in another country is therefore not resolved by the foreign decision: it requires a Brazilian proceeding.
The rule in art. 961 of the Code of Civil Procedure is that a foreign decision only has effect in Brazil after recognition by the STJ. Paragraph 5 of the same article opens a relevant exception: a foreign judgment of uncontested divorce has effect regardless of recognition. In practice, this separates two routes with very different costs and timelines, and sorting between them is the first thing to do.
Name, support and inheritance rights derive from parentage, and none of these effects is lost because of distance. The production of evidence, including genetic testing, is organized considering where each party lives and the cost of travel.
The alternative of divorcing in the country of residence has a consequence: the foreign judgment will later need to be annotated or recognized in Brazil to be valid here. Comparing both routes before starting avoids doing the same procedure twice, in two countries, with two costs.
