According to the Family Law, a marriage in Serbia can be dissolved if the marital relationship is permanently disturbed and if a divorce procedure is the only solution. From a legal point of view, the divorce can be completed in two ways:

 

•    through a mutual agreement of the spouses;

•    filing a lawsuit for divorce in the court of law without a public.

 

If one partner leaves the relationship or if he/she is gone missing, the other one can file for divorce in the court of law. The same authorities will decide on the arrangements regarding the children of the family.  Legal advice is essential when dealing with a divorce procedure, as the advisors can explain the rights of both spouses in Serbia.

The divorce procedure in Serbia is normally done by a mutual agreement signed by the spouses if they agree to the terms and conditions. In this sense, the arrangements regarding the children and the responsibilities involved must be outlined. Details about the domicile of the children, their education, and the periodical visits must be determined when the mutual agreement is signed. Moreover, the same arrangement must contain information about the division of the assets gained together as husband and wife. 

 

 

It is good to know that the divorce process made through a lawsuit in Serbia is considered complicated compared to the mutual arrangements. Mediation is required in this procedure if both spouses, regardless of their nationality, are present in Serbia. We mention that divorce lawsuits may prolong for several years if the two partners do not agree on property division or child custody.
