Case introduction:
An American man, Ken, married an American woman named Lily in 1993, and they had a son and a daughter together. He pursued work in China in 2001, but due to long-term separation, his marriage fell apart. Ken filed for divorce while still in China. However, the court held that because neither party was a Chinese citizen and they had not been married in China, it had no jurisdiction over the case and dismissed Ken’s appeal.
Legal tips:
According to Chinese law, a court can accept a cause even if both parties are foreigners if one of them has a house or temporary living place in China. In this case, neither did, so the court had no jurisdiction.
