Why the Decision of Consensual Divorce is Not Sent Directly to the Litigants

Based on the information you provided, you and your wife were granted a consensual divorce by the court, as stipulated in Clause 4, Article 397 of the 2015 Civil Procedure Code.

Accordingly, the court will execute the mutual divorce agreement procedures stipulated in Article 212 of the 2015 Civil Procedure Code. According to Clause 1 of this Article, within 5 working days from the date of acknowledging the agreement of the parties, the court must send the decision to the parties and the same-level Procuracy.

However, based on Clause 5, Article 177 regarding the issuance, service, and notification in cases where you are absent from your residence without a known return date or unknown new residence, the issuer, server, notifier shall make a record of the failure to perform these tasks, confirmed by the representative of the neighborhood group, ward commune-level police, and proceed to publicly post the document to be served.

The procedure for public posting will be authorized to the People's Committee of the commune where you reside. This is why the judicial officer where you live may have received the decision sent by the court.

Sincerely!
