i've read alot about 24 hour divorces regarding needing consent meaning needing the spouse signature and such but what kind of divorces exist between dominican residents? if its two dominican residents getting a divorce would consent be needed? or can they get a divorce without a consent and if so how would the other person know that their spouse divorced them without their knowledge? same question i ask about an american married to a dominican resident. I was told that a dominican resident can divorce without the other spouses consent. without signature. How would the american know? How is that possible?

divorce consent
Covered a gazillion times
Look up on top of the page. See the blue bar? Between New Posts and Quick Links, there is a thingy called "SEARCH" .
Click on it. Use key words like Divorce Quickie and see what pops up. If that does not answer your questions, then come back here, okey>
Good luck

Hillbilly... you didn't read the question right... the person is not asking about quickie divorces that to be legal need the consent of both parties. The person is asking about a Dominican getting a divorce behind the back of an American. Those divorces were common in the past, but I think they are not so easy to get anymore, and doubtful in their legality. Probably Fabio can respond to this as to what is the present status. Regardless, divorce with only consent of one of the parties is a more lengthy and costly process.
Hillbilly said:
Fabio only addresses in his comment in this thread quickie divorces which require mutual consent and one person to be present to be legal. This person is asking about whether it is possible for a person to be divorced by the spouse without having found out that the divorce was made. The person is not referring to the quickie divorce procedure.
re: divoce consent
as for hillbilly
1) been there done that. I used that as you call it SEARCH thingy before i asked the question.
2) the question has nothing to do with me getting screwed
3) fabio's opinion does not answer the question i asked
in conclusion READ THE QUESTION CAREFULLY

Divorce in the DR is admitted on many grounds besides mutual consent, such as irreconcilable differences, adultery, conviction on a criminal charge, abandonment, etc.
Only the quick divorce procedure applicable to foreigners requires mutual consent of the spouses.
For divorces on grounds other than mutual consent, the divorce complaint must be properly notified to the defendant spouse to allow him/her to prepare his/her defense. If this is not done, the divorce can be voided on appeal. Most fraudulent divorces can be easily annulled by establishing that the defendant spouse was never notified.
