all terms and conditions of the dissolution of the marriage prior to filing.

Procedural Action

If the applying spouses resides or travels to the Dominican Republic, they must sign a

Separation Agreement before a Notary Public. If you do not have the Separation

Agreement DominicanLawyer.org will draft the document for you. This Separation

division of common property, custody of the minor children within the marriage and the
