When a foreigner residing in Japan divorces a Japanese person, it is natural to consider what kind of qualifications he / she can stay in after the divorce.
However, long-term married couples have the right to share their accumulated property over a long period of marital life.
For example, if a foreign woman has no income and only the income of her Japanese husband, she has the right to claim a share of the property formed after her marriage.
To put it simply, she can claim a share of the property that your husband has accumulated since he got married.
Foreign residents often tend to consider only the status of residence.
However, it is possible and necessary to discuss property sharing and child support (if you have minor children).
This is also a natural right.
