QUESTION
Do I need to file for a divorce both in Tennessee and in Australia?
Asked on May 03rd, 2013 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
My spouse and I went to the court house and were married in a civil ceremony in Nashville TN (That is were we were living at the time). The Greek Orthodox Diocese said that was the only way we could get married in our church. A few days later we went to Sydney Australia (spouse was born there, I was born in the states), and had our Greek Orthodox wedding there. We now live in Florida, and I'm wondering where do I file.

I would suggest you contact attorneys in Tennessee and Australia. This is a Florida site. Good luck.

Divorce jurisdiction is where you live at the time of filing the action to end your marriage. In order to file in Florida, one of the parties has to have lived there for at least 6 months immediately preceding the filing.

You can file in Florida if you have been a resident of the state for at least 6 months. If you and the spouse can agree on all of the issues in your divorce, it can be uncontested, quick and much less expensive, than if you disagree on just one issue.
