International Legal Practice

Global Solutions for Brazilians and Foreigners

 

In an increasingly connected world, family and property relations cross borders. At Dr. Talissa Caldonazo, we understand that dealing with legal issues in different countries requires more than just technical knowledge ; it requires cultural fluency, language proficiency, and a global network of contacts.

 

Our team of bilingual lawyers specializes in International Law, offering comprehensive support for Brazilians living abroad and foreigners with interests in Brazil. Our firm’s International Practice is guided by agility and legal certainty. Whether resolving a cross-border divorce, dividing assets located in other countries, or recognizing a foreign judgment in Brazil, we are prepared to act with the same excellence that made us a reference in Campinas and the surrounding region.

International Family Law: Divorce and Asset Division

 

Divorce between people of different nationalities or residing in different countries presents unique challenges. Choosing the correct jurisdiction and applying international family laws are essential to avoid conflicts of jurisdiction and ensure both parties’ rights are respected.

 

Service

 

Description and Application

 

International Divorce

 

Comprehensive counsel for Brazilians who married abroad or foreigners who wish to divorce in Brazil, focusing on global legal validity.

 

Asset Division Abroad

 

Strategies for dividing real estate, bank accounts, and investments located outside Brazil, ensuring the enforcement of judicial decisions.

 

Child Custody and Alimony

 

Resolution of conflicts involving child custody and alimony in international contexts, observing the Hague Convention.

 

Recognition of Foreign Judgments in Brazil

 

For a judicial decision rendered in another country (such as a divorce, adoption, or alimony ruling) to have legal validity in Brazil, it must go through the process of Recognition of Foreign Judgments (Homologação de Sentença Estrangeira) before the Superior Court of Justice (STJ).

 

Our team handles all bureaucratic procedures, from analyzing original documentation and sworn translations to filing and monitoring the process at the STJ. This procedure is essential so you can update your marital status in Brazil, transfer assets, or ensure the enforcement of alimony obligations within the national territory.

Estate Planning and Probate Involving Assets Abroad

 

The succession of assets located in multiple countries can become a bureaucratic and tax nightmare if not properly planned. Caldonazo Advocacia assists families in structuring international wills and executing probate involving global assets, always aiming for the lowest tax burden and the fastest asset transfer.
