Divorcios al vapor
De acuerdo con la leyes dominicanas, un matrimonio de personas
extranjeras puede disolverse en 24 horas, siempre y cuando uno de los
cónyuges presente un acta legalizada en el Consulado Dominicano
de su país de origen, que consigne un “acuerdo de separación
por mutuo consentimiento,” y apodere a un abogado dominicano para
llevar la causa ante los tribunales. En nuestro país hay oficinas
especializadas para atender estos casos.
