Yes, if a person is convicted under German law and serves 4 months of jail time, he can still file for a divorce from his wife. As a matter of fact, the courts would most likely not only allow it, but also expect it.

Nothing. Criminal prosecution stops with the death of the accused, because there's no point; no country has an extradition treaty with Death.
Because of privacy laws, it is unlikely to happen without a criminal complaint.
A criminal complaint is an alternative to an arrest; this will still appear on your adult criminal record if the judge or clerk magistrate finds probable cause against you. You do not have to appear in court for a show cause on a criminal complaint but you would have to appear at the second stage which is an arraignment. In Massachusetts, the law states that a defendant has the right to be heard before a clerk or assistant clerk magistrate for misdeanor charges which the police department has filed against them if that police department chose not to arrest. The police department has to prove probable cause at a criminal complaint show cause hearing. The defendant does not have to speak; only evidence such as "I couldn't have committed that crime because I was at court on another hearing at the time of the alleged crime" will be heard...not evidence such as "I only yelled at him, I never hit him" will be heard. This is not a trial where guilt or innocence is found.
No, a dead person cannot be convicted of a crime because a criminal conviction requires the accused to be alive in order to stand trial and defend themselves. Once a person is deceased, the criminal justice system cannot proceed with a trial or sentence against them.
If someone is convicted that means they are found guilty of a crime (by jury or judge). After someone is convicted, they are sentenced, which means the judge (usually, sometimes jury) decides what punishment is appropriate. This can happen quite a while after someone is convicted because the court needs to do a presentencing investigation where the guilty party's age, past criminal record, mental health, etc. can be taken into account.
Well, you certainly won't have a record in the United States, because it's not a crime in any State to be in someone else's country illegally. If you were simply deported and not convicted of any actual criminal offense in Canada, you won't have a criminal record there, either, however you are probably now listed as "ineligible to enter Canada" by the Canadian authorities.
Yes a convicted felon may leave the country unless on probation or parole. If this is the case, the convict must get written consent by their parole officer to do so. This applies in the USA.Additional: Note that some countries may not grant you entrance because of your criminal status.
No, because "wrongful death" is not a criminal charge, only a civil charge (a "lawsuit"), and can result in award of money (restitution, etc), but not jail.
kidnapping They were not convicted of kidnapping because it was a racial subject that they had to face
A back ground check is looking into a persons back ground , for instance where he/she has lived what schools were attended what jobs were had possibly credit rating. If the person being checked has no criminal history then that wont come up in the background check. On the other hand when looking for a persons criminal history that's all that is sought and no notice is taken of the rest of the back ground.
Yes, generally speaking a convicted felon can still travel to other countries; unless there were stipulations with his convictions and sentencing - such as, denial of passport.Added Information: The above is true - insofar as it goes. However, just because a convicted felon is granted the right to be issued a US passport it does not guarantee that a foreign country won't deny them entrance to the country based on their criminal record. a
