Divorce Court Fees in Vietnam

Question:
Hello, Lawyer. I am a Vietnamese-American citizen. I was previously married to a woman from Vinh Long, but later, she refused to come to the U.S. Now, I want to get a divorce. Could you please tell me how much the court fees are in Vietnam so I can prepare? Thank you, Lawyer.

Lawyer’s Advice:
Hello, sir. Currently, divorce fees in Vietnam are divided into two categories: fees with a fixed value and fees without a fixed value. We would like to clarify as follows:

Fees with a fixed value:
This applies in cases where the court is only requested to terminate the marriage, without any request for asset division or debt allocation.

Fee: 300,000 VND.

Fees without a fixed value:
This applies in cases where the court is requested to divide joint assets or debts between the spouses. The fee is calculated based on the value of the assets as follows:

  • Assets under 6,000,000 VND: 300,000 VND.
  • Assets from 6,000,000 VND to 400,000,000 VND: 5% of the disputed asset value.
  • Assets from 400,000,000 VND to 800,000,000 VND: 20,000,000 VND + 4% of the amount exceeding 400,000,000 VND.
  • Assets from 800,000,000 VND to 2,000,000,000 VND: 36,000,000 VND + 3% of the amount exceeding 800,000,000 VND.
  • Assets from 2,000,000,000 VND to 4,000,000,000 VND: 72,000,000 VND + 2% of the amount exceeding 2,000,000,000 VND.
  • Assets over 4,000,000,000 VND: 112,000,000 VND + 0.1% of the amount exceeding 4,000,000,000 VND.

How long does the divorce process take in Vietnam?

Question:

I would like to receive advice. I am Chinese, and my wife is Vietnamese. We have had conflicts, and since 2022, my wife has taken our child back to Vietnam. I have tried to reconcile with her several times by traveling to Vietnam, but she refuses and insists on a divorce, so I agreed. I want to ask how long the divorce process will take if it is handled in Vietnam. I need to know this to arrange my work in China.

Lawyer’s Advice:

Hello, sir. According to Vietnamese law, the time required to resolve a divorce with foreign elements is regulated under Article 476 of the 2015 Civil Procedure Code as follows:

” 3.The court must send a notice of acceptance of the civil case, which specifies the time and place for the session, as well as the resumption of the session to resolve the civil case, in the written notice to the parties involved abroad.

The session must be held no earlier than 6 months and no later than 8 months from the date of the notice of acceptance of the civil case. The date for resuming the session (if any) is set no later than 1 month after the first session.”

In addition, the court needs to complete the procedures to accept the case, so the total time for resolution will take approximately 7 to 10 months from the time the documents are submitted.

This duration is quite long for you to stay in Vietnam. Currently, Hung Bach Law Firm offers expedited divorce services, which shorten the processing time and allow you to handle the case without being present (no need to return to Vietnam). If you need assistance, please feel free to contact us at the following number: +84.969.088.118 (Zalo).

Can you divorce without the consent of the other party in Vietnam?

Question:

Hello, I want to divorce my wife in Vietnam. I have contacted her, and she is asking me to transfer 10,000 USD for her to sign the divorce papers.

Can I divorce without her consent in Vietnam? Can you help me resolve this issue and what would the cost be?

Lawyer’s Advice:

Hello, sir. Vietnamese law currently allows for divorce without the other party’s consent. To proceed with this, you will need to prove that there is marital conflict or the relationship is irreparably broken. Our divorce lawyer can assist you with the entire procedure, and you do not need to be present in Vietnam. The cost for resolving this issue is 2,500 USD (for cases without disputes over child custody, property, and with complete documents).
