Quick Divorce
DR1 and Guzman Ariza & Asociados have teamed to make it easy to obtain a "One Day Dominican Divorce".

Tell me more...
Dominican fast divorces, known under the legislation as “special,” are painless and hassle free. They are available to foreigners and Dominicans married to foreigners, as well as Dominican citizens not resident in the DR and take only one day. 

For the divorce to be legal, at least one of the spouses needs to come down to the Dominican Republic to appear before the Court. There is no such thing as a “mail-order” divorce in which neither spouse has to appear in court. “Unilateral” divorces are also invalid since both spouses must agree to the divorce.

The traveling spouse should arrive the day before the hearing in Court in order to hand over the documentation to his/her attorney for registration and to be at court early in the morning. He/she may depart the next day in the afternoon. 
That is how you can be divorced in less than 24 hours. 

The divorce ruling, however, has to be typed up by the Court, recorded at the Registry, and authenticated at the Consulate or Embassy of the country of origin of the spouses. This takes approximately 10-15 business days, after which the file is sent by courier to the clients.

In an effort to make the process as simple as possible, we use an easy-to-follow "4-step" system.
