Overview
- John Kelvin submitted a civil divorce petition to the Juzgado Especializado de Familia de Lima Norte that was admitted by the court and now carries a 30-day deadline for responses.
- The petition invokes or 'separación de hecho' and states the couple stopped living as spouses in July 2021, a period the filing says exceeds the four years required for couples with minor children.
- Dalia Durán told television reporters she resumed living and sleeping with Kelvin until April 2026, rejected the divorce filing and said she may file counterclaims if formally served.
- Media reports and statements from Kelvin note ongoing criminal complaints alleging physical aggression, which Kelvin says have repeatedly limited his ability to see his children under the court’s visitation arrangements.
- The parties previously signed a notarial agreement in November 2022 that failed because of an identity-document issue, and the Ministerio Público’s forthcoming response will shape whether the civil case moves forward or prompts new court actions.
