Q: Can you divorce in China if you and your Chinese wife were married overseas?

Or vice versa.  What documents you need?

The answer is YES, but it will be a complicated legal issue, and if you are thinking about it you should do some serious research before acting.  In the vice versa case, most countries abroad do recognize Chinese marriages, but to get a divorce you must establish residence first for a period of time.  I was told once that if you register your marriage abroad in China, it will be a lot easier to get a divorce afterwards if the need arises.
Now, be aware, if children are involved, China has not signed the Hague Convention, which deals with custody cases and child kidnapping, so if you are granted custody by Courts abroad, China may not award you the child.

My advise would be to contact a Chinese lawyer who does divorce cases and seek his counsel in your particular situation.

In all honesty I'd suggest not asking for international divorce law on a forum full of people drinking 10 kuai baijiu.

Go to Rio, divorce is a simple ceremony, where you each say "I divorce you" three times and thats it. You're divorced. Sign the papers, done deal.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
