Many expatriates living in the USA, Canada and worldwide hold court decisions issued abroad — such as foreign divorce decrees, child custody and parental responsibility orders, maintenance / alimony decisions, adoption judgments, inheritance-related rulings and civil court decisions. For these decisions to produce legal effect in Cyprus, they must first be recognized and registered before the Cyprus Courts in accordance with Cypriot law and applicable international conventions.

At E. Chatzidimitriou LLC, we handle the Recognition of Foreign Court Judgments in Cyprus, ensuring that your decision becomes legally valid and enforceable in the Republic of Cyprus. Our services include legal review of the judgment, preparation of the application, filing before the competent Court, full legal representation, certified translations and any required authentication / legalization.

We have extensive experience assisting clients with matters such as:

• Recognition of a Foreign Divorce in Cyprus
• Recognition of Child Custody & Parental Responsibility Orders
• Registration of Foreign Adoption Decisions

• Recognition of Foreign Civil & Property Court Decisions

Once recognized, the judgment may be used for civil status updates, family law matters, inheritance and estate procedures, public registry updates and other administrative processes in Cyprus.

All procedures can be completed remotely through a Power of Attorney, without you needing to travel to Cyprus.
