Advice on divorce please 2008/3/5 14:43
I want to divorce my husband but I am not sure about the laws. I really want to ask someone about my position. Are any of you lawyers? Or do you know any lawyer here in Japan who I can ask? I would be so grateful. I am quite afraid. I just want to explain my situation to a lawyer and listen to advice. Can I email someone?
Thank you

I'm not a lawyer, but maybe these links can help you to get at least an idea about how divorce in Japan works:

Resources 2008/3/5 20:52
Genevie,

Depending on where you live, your local city office might even offer legal counseling, or at least guidance, in English, so I would recommend checking there.

Never used them myself, but another resource is Tokyo English Lifeline.

Hope it works out OK.
