Can Foreigners Divorce in Ecuador? Yes—Here’s How

Foreigners who were married abroad may legally divorce in Ecuador, provided that one of the spouses holds temporary or permanent residency in the country. However, before starting the divorce process, the marriage must be officially registered with the Ecuadorian Civil Registry. This registration is a separate legal step and is mandatory in order to proceed with any divorce in Ecuador. Once registered, the divorce can be completed even if one spouse lives outside the country.

There are three main ways to obtain a divorce in Ecuador:
1. Notarial Divorce (Recommended): This is the fastest and most affordable option. If both spouses agree, the divorce is completed before a Notary in approximately 40 minutes and later registered with the Civil Registry.
2. Judicial Divorce by Mutual Agreement: Filed before a judge when both spouses consent. This process takes around 6 to 8 months and requires a court hearing.
3. Judicial Divorce Without Agreement: Initiated when one spouse does not consent or cannot be located. Legal grounds must be proven, such as prolonged separation or lack of marital harmony.

Basic requirements include an
- Ecuadorian marriage certificate
- Identification documents (cédula or passport)
- Birth certificates of any children, if applicable.

If You Have Minor Children:
Regardless of the divorce method, child support, custody, and visitation must be agreed upon or determined by a judge. Mediation can make this process faster and more cost-effective.

Final Step:
Every divorce must be registered with the Civil Registry to be legally valid. The registered divorce certificate can be used worldwide for legal, financial, immigration, and property matters. Afterward, remember to update your cédula and divide any marital assets in Ecuador.

Important Notice for Property Owners in Ecuador

If you have purchased a property in Ecuador, it is essential to understand that the process is not fully completed once the deed is registered at the Property Registry. Many owners are unaware — or simply forget — that there is an additional and indispensable step: updating the ownership name at the municipal level.

This municipal name change is not just a formality. It is a legal requirement that ensures your rights as the true owner of the property.

Why this step is important:
1. Having the property registered under your name within the municipality allows you to act as the owner for sales, donations, and legal transfers.
2. It enables you to obtain municipal permits for construction, remodeling, or land use.
3. It allows you to pay property taxes under your own name and maintain a clean legal record.
4. It gives you access to senior citizen tax discounts, when applicable.
5. This tax payment must be in your name because you are the legal owner of the property. If it is not, it could lead to legal and administrative problems in the future.

Requirements for the municipal name change:
1. Copy of the public deed of sale of your property.
2. Proof of payment of the municipal property tax (predial tax).
3. Third-party authorization form, if you are sending someone else to complete the process on your behalf.
4. A form that must be completed when the property was acquired under a marital partnership or any type of co-ownership, to determine under whose name the property should be registered.

All documentation must be submitted in person, in physical form, at the municipal offices.

If you need assistance filling out the forms, gathering the required documents, or attending the municipality, please contact us. As Attorneys specialized in Civil Law, we are always ready to help you every step of the way.

Do you have any questions? Don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help you and your family to make the best possible plans for your assets.

Attention Property Owners in Ecuador

Living in Ecuador comes with many benefits—but if you own property here, it also comes with important responsibilities that are easy to overlook, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the local system.

Every person who owns Real Estate Property in Ecuador is required to pay Municipal Property Taxes each year, including the urban or rural property tax (impuesto predial). This obligation applies regardless of your nationality or residency status. It is paid once a year, and staying current helps you avoid unnecessary stress, fines, interests, or administrative roadblocks.

The good news? Ecuadorian municipalities encourage early payment by offering attractive discounts.

For urban properties, discounts are available during the first six months of the year and are divided into two payment periods each month:

- January: 10% discount in the first half, 9% in the second
- February: 8% (first half) and 7% (second half)
- March: 6% and 5%
- The discount gradually decreases until it reaches 1% in the second half of June

For rural properties, owners receive a 10% discount if payment is made within the first 45 days of the year, up to February 15.

Paying your municipal taxes on time is more important than it may seem. Any outstanding balance can prevent you from completing basic procedures, such as transferring ownership after buying or selling a property. Late payments also generate interest and penalties that can quickly add up.

Additionally, if you are older than 65, you can obtain senior discounts on your taxes too.

If you would like to be up to date in your payments to avoid issues, file for the senior discount or obtain the discounts for early payment, do not hesitate to contact us. We can take care of the whole payment process for you from beginning to end and you don't even need to leave the comfort of your home.

Just contact us, we will coordinate everything remotely, or in person in our Office, if that is what you prefer.

Do you have any questions? Don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help you and your family to make the best possible plans for your assets.
