Separation exists in fact and not in law
Bulgarian law provides no legal separation as a status. Divorce is by court, either by mutual consent with a required agreement, or by petition on the ground of deep and irreparable breakdown.
A mutual-consent divorce requires an agreement on residence of the children, parental rights, maintenance, use of the family home and surnames, and the court approves it. So the settlement is part of the file.
Fault is decided, and it matters
In a contested Bulgarian divorce the court rules on fault unless the parties ask it not to, and the finding affects maintenance and the use of the family home.
So a Bulgarian judgment may contain a finding a US reader does not expect in a modern divorce. We translate it as written rather than softening it.
The surname after divorce
A spouse who took the other's surname on marriage may keep it or revert, and the judgment records the decision. Where fault is found the other spouse may object to the continued use.
So a Bulgarian name change on divorce is recorded in the judgment itself, and it explains a difference between an older and a newer document.
The EGN, and the three-part name
The EGN is ten digits encoding date of birth and sex and does not change; it frequently starts with a zero that spreadsheets eat, and we reproduce it exactly.
Bulgarian names have three parts including a patronymic from the father's given name, which is not a middle name. See our Bulgarian page.
