Abstract:
Recognition and enforcement of foreign divorce judgments is an important part of the recognition and enforcement of foreign civil and commercial judgments. Based on the analysis of the classification of current judicial cases on the recognition and enforcement of foreign divorce judgments by Chinese courts, the study finds that the current Chinese courts maintain a high recognition rate of foreign divorce judgments and focus on the recognition of dissolution of marriage content. At the same time, China has clarified the treaty, legislative and judicial basis for recognizing and enforcing foreign divorce judgments, and established the application of the principle of reciprocity. This article will discuss the institutional development of the recognition of foreign divorce decrees by Chinese courts in the context of the entry into force of China’s Civil Code and the current judicial practice of recognition and enforcement of foreign divorce decrees in China and the current legal provisions.
