RIKON
ALERT
You can be DIVORCED
without your consent!
Divorce in Japan is different from your country
Divorce is legally recognized simply on submission of divorce documents.
Sole custody of your children may be decided on the basis of the documents and without consideration of a court. If your children are living with your spouse, it is nearly impossible to win a change in custody.
Even if your signature on the divorce application was forged, the government may accept and the divorce will be in effect.
Submit a “Rikon Fujyuri Moushidesho” form to your local city hall to avoid being divorced without your agreement.
