No legal separation, and a simplified divorce
Hungarian law provides no legal separation. Divorce is by court, and where the spouses agree on defined questions the court grants it on a simplified basis without examining the breakdown.
The agreement must cover custody, contact, maintenance, the use of the matrimonial home and, where applicable, spousal maintenance. So a Hungarian file contains a settlement approved by the court as well as the dissolution.
The married name is a system
Hungarian law offers several married name forms, including the -né suffix meaning "wife of", and on divorce a spouse may continue to use the married name or revert, with restrictions where fault is found.
So a woman's name before, during and after a Hungarian marriage may take three different forms, and the divorce judgment records which she may use. We explain the form rather than transliterating it.
The marriage record, and the TAJ
The divorce is recorded in the electronic civil registry against the marriage entry, and an anyakönyvi kivonat issued afterwards carries it.
Hungarian documents carry a personal identification number and a TAJ social insurance number, neither of which changes with status. We reproduce each as labelled.
Surname first, and the accents
Hungarian writes the family name before the given name, so a judgment naming Nagy István concerns István Nagy. We make the order explicit.
Hungarian uses ő and ű alongside the more familiar accented vowels, and stripping them changes names. See our Hungarian page.
