When a couple want to get a voluntary divorce in China, they are not necessary to get the divorce through filing a lawsuit before the court. A lawsuit is usually needed in case that either party disagrees with the divorce, or both parties have disputes on the settlement of property or the issue of fostering children.

a. they have reached consensus on a voluntary divorce;
b. they have reached consensus on the issues of fostering children, property, debts, etc.. Ususally a divorce agreement shall be concluded by both parties under the guidance of a professional lawyer;
c. they got married originally in China and held the marriage certificate;
d. each party has the full civil capacity;
e. they should go together in person to the Civil Affairs Bureau and acquire the divorce certificate.
