Divorce for non-resident Nepalis is the legal process of ending a marriage between Nepali citizens who live abroad. To file for divorce in Nepal, one or both spouses must have their citizenship registered in Nepal, and the marriage must have been registered or recognized in Nepal. The divorce petition can be filed by either spouse or by mutual consent, based on various grounds such as adultery, desertion, cruelty, disease, or irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The court will hear the case and issue a divorce decree if the grounds are established. The court will also decide on the division of assets and custody issues, if any. The divorce decree may need to be recognized and enforced in the country of residence, depending on the local laws. After the divorce, both parties should update their legal documents to reflect their changed marital status. Divorce for non-resident Nepalis involves several steps and considerations, and it is advisable to consult a legal professional with expertise in international divorce cases.
