Divorce in Moldova: procedure, children and property

Civil registry, notary or court

The available route depends on consent, minor children, disputes and the relief requested. A simple dissolution of marriage must be distinguished from claims about children, maintenance and property.

Documents and decisions

• Marriage and identity records.
• Birth records for minor children.
• Evidence concerning residence, care and income.
• Property, loan and payment documents.
• Any agreement proposed between the spouses.

Protecting rights during divorce

The court may need to address several connected claims, but strategy and evidence differ for each. Keep communications and financial records, avoid informal transfers of disputed property and clarify whether interim measures are necessary.
