Express Divorce Lawyer Palma de Mallorca
Express divorce specialist lawyer in Palma de Mallorca
If both spouses agree to formalise a divorce by mutual consent, the procedure can be speeded up and an express divorce by mutual agreement can be signed before a notary or before the courts.
EXPRESS DIVORCE before a Notary
€450 + VAT. All inclusive (Lawyer and notary)
Since the entry into force of theExpress Divorce Law, Law 15/2005 of 8 July, it is possible to divorce quickly, easily and economically directly before a notary.
The only requirement is not to have minor children.
If there are minor children, the divorce must be formalised in court, because the Law requires the Public Prosecutor to approve the settlement agreement that the parents and the lawyer agree for the children.
What documents do we need to submit?
– ID of both spouses
– Certificate of registration (empadronamiento)
– Family book
+
– Settlement agreement. A document we draft ourselves and hand to the notary on the day of signing for review.
What steps are involved?
Once we have all the documents, we book an appointment with the notary and on the agreed day we sign the divorce before the notary. All parties must attend on the day of signing: lawyer, spouses and any adult children, to ratify their parents’ agreements.
Once signed, the parties do not need to worry about anything else: the notary sends the documents to the Civil Registry to make the divorce effective.
How long does it take to divorce?
As long as it takes the spouses to give us all the documents. We have processed divorces in just a few days.
Within a period of 7 days you can be divorced.
EXPRESS DIVORCE before the Courts
€900 + VAT. All inclusive (Lawyer and court representative)
If, on the other hand, there are minor children, the claim must be filed in court and, instead of a notary, we need a court representative (procurador).
What steps are involved?
A joint divorce petition is filed in court. The court summons the parties on a given day to ratify the agreement submitted. The Public Prosecutor then reviews the agreements and, if satisfied, they are approved. Finally, the judge issues a judgment approving the agreement.
How long does it take to divorce?
The time depends on the workload of the court that receives the claim. It can take 2-3 months.
