QUESTION
Can I get a divorce in the US when spouse never visited US and marriage happened in India?
Asked on Oct 29th, 2013 on Divorce - Michigan
More details to this question:
I am married (not registered it was Hindu traditional marriage) but separated from my husband for the last 3 years. My passport has a married status as separated and I am working in USA for last 2 years. Is it possible to get a divorce from USA? Can I marry my friend here? He is American. My visa is about to expire. He wanted to marry me but since I don't have any divorce as paper work I am sure it will cause problem and will also cause problem in bringing my kid from India. How long will the divorce take and how much will it cost me?

Yes, you can get divorced here. Your action must be carefully coordinated with immigration attorney to make sure you don't jeopardize your visa status. If custody and support are not part of the case, then it can be over in 60 days if your husband can be served in India and he doesn't challenge your claim for divorce.. If he does, best guess is 9 to 12 months. Cost can only be determined after conference with attorney.

You can, most probably, divorce him in the U.S. It is impossible to predict the cost, inexpensive if there is no opposition the sky is the limit if there is.
