| I've recently been pondering this topic again, and came across one question that I couldn't find an answer for. Imagine a foreign expat marries a Chinese woman in China. They are formally registered as a married couple in China, but for whatever reasons not(!) in the man's home country. And there's no prenup. The man gets the major proportion of his remuneration paid in a hard currency to his home country account. He has virtually no tangible property or assets in China except for some consumables such as clothes, electric appliances. His apartment in China is of course paid by his company. What happens if the couple divorces and the man doesn't want to share anything of his assets with his former wife. All of his assets are insulated from her in his home country. He is willing to go back to his home country for good in order to maintain his assets and avoid any exposure to the Chinese Marriage/Family/Divorce Law. Is there anything the Chinese woman can do in this situation to secure a piece of the man's assets? Pls keep in mind that they're only registered as a married couple in China! Another similar of this question would be: What happens if the man skips the divorce procedure and just leaves China for good? Does the woman in this situation has any chance to get some of his property? Can she file suit in the man's home country if the man negates being married to her by international standards? Would be glad to get some replies. Thx in advance! |
