Typical situations

Marriage and Family

Anonymized examples for orientation — not guarantees or predictions for your case. Laws may change; call our lawyers for advice on your documents.

Uncontested divorce, contested house

The situation

A couple agreed to divorce and on parenting time for their child, but could not agree who kept the marital home purchased during the marriage with mixed contributions. One spouse threatened to “take everything to court” and block the child’s school transfer.

How we approach it

We separated parenting issues from property, listed contributions and debts tied to the house, and proposed a settlement: one spouse keeps the house with a buy-out payment schedule, while parenting arrangements stayed in a clear written agreement suitable for the court to recognize.

Possible outcome

The court approved an uncontested divorce with the parenting plan and property settlement attached. The family avoided a bitter property trial, and the child’s schooling was not disrupted.

Cross-border custody and travel consent

The situation

After divorce, one parent planned to take the child abroad for several months for work. The other parent refused to sign travel papers, fearing the child would not return. Airlines and immigration required clear consent or a court decision.

How we approach it

We reviewed the existing custody judgment, explained legal risks of unilateral travel, and negotiated temporary travel conditions: dates, contact schedule, deposit or guarantee, and a written undertaking to return the child by a fixed date — ready to seek a court order if agreement failed.

Possible outcome

Both parents signed a detailed travel consent. The child traveled and returned on schedule; no enforcement action was needed.

Separate property mixed into a joint purchase

The situation

One spouse used premarital savings as a large part of the down payment on a house titled in both names. During divorce talks, the other spouse insisted the whole house was marital property with equal shares.

How we approach it

We traced bank records proving the separate contribution, explained how Vietnamese law treats mixed funds, and negotiated a split that credited the proven separate portion before dividing the marital remainder.

Possible outcome

The settlement recognized the separate down-payment share and divided the rest. Both sides avoided a long valuation fight in court.
