Hi,
Your husband can file a divorce petition while he is in this country itself but he needs to send her a notice without which he cannot get the divorce. Notice states the complaint on the other person for the divorce. Our husband needs to hire a lawyer for the legal formalities. Even if the ex-wife is in different country, your husband can always file the divorce without contacting the spouse.

After the filing is over, the court will issue the notice to the ex-wife to appear in person or with the assistance of a lawyer.
Your husband can himself file the divorce provided he knows all legal terms and conditions.

Hi,
Any person can file a divorce in a state but he should be a resident of that state for at least 6 months and often as long as one year before filing a divorce there.
If your husband wants to file the divorce in this country (you haven't mentioned the country though), he must give some proof that he has stayed there for the required time period. Only two states in US like the South Dakota and Washington.
Your husband can even file in Mexico but it will cost him much more. That's because a divorce case is hardly settled in one or two appearance before the court.
Thanks,
Sara.

Hi Montes,
A divorce filed in any country is valid when the one who files meets the residency requirement of that country or the state. The other spouse can live in a different country. The courts of each and every state in that country will recognize the divorce.
However, court decisions concerning division of property, alimony, custody and child support may not be valid unless the non-resident spouse agrees to the jurisdiction of the court for example, paying for child support.
Thanks.

My husband is Brittish.
We married in the U.K. I left him and came back to the states where I am from.
How can I get a dicorce?
I don't have much money either.

I have a friend who lives in Argentina and wants a divorce from his wife who is in the states. Can this be done through a lawyer from the US or does it need to be done from Argentina? Also, the wife wants this divorce, can she file it here, through a lawyer , and send it to him? Which is the better way? Thanks so much.
Hi
Where was the marriage registered? In the States or in Argentina? I believe, the divorce rules are governed by the laws of the country where the marriage was officially registered? I think an attorney can help you better in this case and can tell you if a divorce can be filed from the U.S.A.

thelma, i think most of the people who participate in this community are expecting to see questions and answers concerning mortgages, credit, financing, etc. it's a bit baffling to find a post asking about divorce laws in argentina.
i don't think this is quite the appropriate forum for your query.

Well, since the question was posed here, I will take a stab at it...
There is the potential that your current marriage may be null and void if you truly did not get divorced from your original spouse. So, do you still want to be married to your current spouse? This "may" offer you the opportunity to walk away without paying alimony, etc
I am not a divorce attorney, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

i sincerely hope your stay with them was a delightful one, eric; and i also sincerely hope that you were away from home and unable to snuggle in your own bed; hence the o'n stay there. gosh.
didn't the tv show Bones cover this territory (not the hotel, but the divorce) already? Remember? Angela got married to some guy she met on an island, but never got divorced from him, and there was a whole mess when he came to town.
a slight digression here i guess, but i don't have any legal expertise, either.

George, I never really watch Bones and I am also a Marriott guy. The Holiday Inn express reference was related to their commercials. look one up on youtube.
Does anyone have recommends for a divorce lawyer who is familiar w/ mixed marriages, ie persons from different countries?
My situ:
- didn't get to know wife enough, married too soon
- she hits her 3yo for little or no reason, and sometimes to get at me
- we have an infant
- she's beyond the date of her visa
- we have an app for green card in the process
i want her to go back to her country, but to keep my infant.
ps 3yo is a US Citizen, US Passport and birth certificate, father is another US Citizen

Can anyone give me the address to log onto the divorce advice blog so I can log on and ask a mortgage question??
glad to oblige, john....try this: greatdivorceadvice.com. it's directed at men only, so you'll be happy about that. i'm sure they'll be as befuddled as we all are when we get off the wall queries from neverneverland.
go easy on them, though...these guys look like they have some serious attitude.
