Validation of Foreign Sentences

Validation of Foreign Sentences

The validation of a foreign sentence is a necessary proceeding in order to make foreign decisions effective in Brazil. This proceeding must be proposed by a lawyer and it is judged by the “Superior Tribunal de Justiça” (or Superior Tribunal of Justice), a federal tribunal located in Brasília. We may provide guidance to our  clients since the beginning of the process of gathering documentation, what is actually advised, since obtaining the correct documents required by the Court may not be simple in some cases. The documents must contain or reflect certain procedural situations, like the service of the other party as well the res judicata or the definitive nature of that sentence. We work with any type of validation of foreign sentence, including the ones regarding divorce. The validation is a complex  proceeding, so it must be proposed in advance if the client is in a hurry to obtain validity of its sentence in Brazil.
