Marriage and family disputes are conflicts arising between individuals regarding rights and obligations in marriage and family relationships. When resolving these disputes, there are many intertwined legal relationships that need to be handled. In particular, the statute of limitations does not apply to legal relationships regarding marriage and family. The law does not allow authorization for others to participate in litigation in divorce cases.
COMMON FORMS OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY DISPUTES
1. Subjects of Disputes
Marriage and family disputes are conflicts between individuals regarding rights and obligations arising in marriage and family relationships. These individuals must have legal capacity and capacity to act as prescribed. People who do not have full civil capacity or have lost their civil capacity will be represented by a guardian according to the law, except for the right to marry.

2. Many Intertwined Legal Relationships
When resolving marriage and family disputes, the court may have to handle many legal relationships at the same time to ensure the thoroughness and comprehensiveness of the case. In addition to the Law on Marriage and Family, other legal documents related to property must also be applied.
3. Statute of Limitations Does Not Apply
Marriage and family relations aim to build a happy, sustainable and long-lasting Vietnamese family. Therefore, the statute of limitations does not apply to disputes related to marriage and family.
4. No Authorization to Participate in Litigation in Divorce Disputes
