Japanese Administrative Divorce Upheld in California

A California court yesterday upheld the validity under California law of a non-judicial and purely administrative divorce obtained under Japanese law.

I provided extensive expert evidence to the court concerning Japanese law and Japanese procedures, as well as substantial research materials on the applicable US laws and authorities concerning the recognition of foreign divorces. I am informed that my expert evidence played a key role in respect of this matter.

As far as I know, this is the first case in which a court in the United States has expressly recognized and enforced a Japanese kyogi rikon administrative divorce.
