Useful first answers
Direct, practical guidance for the questions international clients most often ask before instructing a lawyer in Tbilisi.
Foreign marriage and birth certificates commonly require authentication and certified Georgian translation. Confirm the required form before ordering documents or sending originals.
A Power of Attorney can make remote representation possible, but its wording, notarization and apostille must match the intended Georgian proceedings.
Organize financial, property, communication and child-related evidence early. A clear chronology is often as valuable as the documents themselves.
Frequently asked questions
These answers provide general orientation. Advice for your case requires a review of the specific facts and documents.
The timeline depends on the procedure and whether the spouses agree. An uncontested matter with complete documents may be resolved considerably faster than contested litigation involving children, property or disputed jurisdiction. After reviewing the facts, we provide a case-specific procedural roadmap rather than an unrealistic guarantee.
Often, yes. Many procedural steps can be completed through a properly notarized and apostilled Power of Attorney. Personal attendance may still be useful or required in particular circumstances, and we confirm this after reviewing the court, parties and requested relief.
The usual starting documents are passports or identity documents, the marriage certificate and, where relevant, children’s birth certificates, property records, financial evidence and earlier court decisions. Foreign public documents may require an apostille or legalization and a certified Georgian translation.
The child’s best interests are the central consideration. The court may examine stability, day-to-day care, schooling, living arrangements, each parent’s involvement and relevant professional assessments. The evidence required depends on the particular family situation.
Potentially. Jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement depend on the countries involved, the parties’ connections to Georgia, service of process and the nature of the foreign decision. We assess these points before recommending a filing strategy.
