Nov 23, 2016 06:13: mchd changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): AllegroTrans

Non-PRO (3): writeaway, Catharine Cellier-Smart, mchd

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Divorce summons / divorce papers

The formal way to say this would be: "The divorce summons served on the XX of February 2004 ..."

The informal (and most common way) to say this would be "The divorce papers served on the XX of February 2004.."

disagree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : Belgian context, so "citation" has a specific meaning, which is not "summons" but "petition". "Summons" is incorrect, and "divorce papers" is not the right register for a judgment. See my reference post.

named in divorce proceedings

In English you must distinguish between a divorce, and the proceedings relating to one.
Peer comment(s):

disagree AllegroTrans : but "citation" is a noun not a verb, and the source text makes no reference to anyone being "named"
42 mins
disagree writeaway : seems this is based on the dictionary translation of 'citer', the verb.

a writ of summons to the divorce case notified (or served) on February x, 2004

I would say
Peer comment(s):

disagree AllegroTrans : I would not say, a divorce is not commenced by writ of summons// the source text makes it abundantly clear that these are originating proceedings for divorce and I am sorry but your answer makes no sense
37 mins
what makes you deduce from my answer that the summons occured at the beginning of the d. ? your new comments are even more cryptic. Interpreting le mot citation as Petition IMO is translating vin with water.

the "citation" is the petition, and it is served on the other party
neutral writeaway : but is a petition served (signifiée )? /isn't it filed with the court?

yes definitely the respondent must see it: it is 'filed and served' just Google and you will see http://www.morton-fraser.com/knowledge-hub/help-ive-been-ser...
agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : See reference post. I agree with the term "petition". A "citation" is used when filing for divorce in Belgium under article 229, §1, otherwise it is filed using a "requête".

Divorce pour désunion irrémédiable


Le divorce pour désunion irrémédiable pourra être obtenu:
Soit par la démonstration d'un comportement rendant impossible la poursuite de la vie commune
Soit par l'écoulement du temps
Soit par la réitération en justice de l'affirmation de la désunion irrémédiable
Lorsque la demande en divorce est formée par un seul des époux, il faudra:
Soit la démonstration d'un comportement rendant impossible la poursuite de la vie commune
Soit au moins un an de séparation de fait
Soit deux déclarations devant le Tribunal à un an d'intervalle
Lorsque la demande est formée conjointement par les deux époux, il faudra :
Soit au moins six mois de séparation de fait
Soit deux déclarations devant le Tribunal à trois mois d'intervalle

Examinons les trois possibilités actuellement offertes à chaque époux pour demander le divorce pour désunion irrémédiable.

1. La désunion irrémédiable à démontrer par le demandeur (CC 229, §1)

L'article 229, §1 du Code civil dispose que « Le divorce est prononcé lorsque le juge constate la désunion irrémédiable entre les époux. La désunion est irrémédiable lorsqu'elle rend raisonnablement impossible la poursuite de la vie commune et la reprise de celle-ci entre eux » .

[...]


2. La désunion irrémédiable pour séparation de fait de plus d'un an (CC 229, §3 in limine et CJ 1255, §2, al. 1)

L'article 229, §3 in limine du Code civil dispose que la désunion irrémédiable « est également établie lorsque la demande est formulée par un seul époux après plus d'un an de séparation de fait ».

[...]

3. La désunion irrémédiable par demande répétée deux fois à un an d'intervalle (CC 229, §3 in fine et CJ 1255, §2, al. 2)

L'article 229, §3 in fine du Code civil dispose que la désunion irrémédiable est également établie lorsque la demande « est répétée à deux reprises » à un an d'intervalle.

[...]


* * *

L'article 229, §2 du Code civil permet à deux époux de demander conjointement le divorce pour désunion irrémédiable dans les deux cas suivants :
- après plus de six mois de séparation de fait
- lorsque leur demande est répétée à deux reprises devant le Juge à 3 mois d'intervalle.

The "pétition" appears to be used when article 229, §1 of the [Belgian] Civil Code applies : irretrievale breakdown where the breakdown of the union is such that continuing to live together or living together once again is not "reaonsably possible".
Either party can petition for divorce in this case.

Sorry, that should be "irretrievable" in English.
