1. The divorce cases filed by overseas Chinese who got married in China and settled in foreign countries, without acceptance by the court of the country of settlement, are under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the marriage place.  


2. The divorce lawsuits filed by overseas Chinese who got married and settled in foreign countries, without acceptance by the court of the country of settlement , are under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the place of domicile of one side, or the final place of settlement.


3. For China citizens, one side lives abroad, the other side lives in China. Whichever side files a divorce lawsuit, the people’s court which is in the place of settlement of the side in China has the jurisdiction over the case. If the side who lives abroad files lawsuits in people’ court in its  place of settlement, the side in China can sue the other side in the people’s court.
