What are steps in divorcing my deported husband if he's agreeable to everything?

Asked on Jan 07th, 2014 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband was deported a while back and we are now trying to get divorced. He is in agreement to everything. Can I just send him the papers and waiver to sign? Also, I know the waiver of citation has to be notarized, how would that be done in a foreign country?

You would have to file a petition and have it served on him or have him accept service. All papers from him would have to be acknowledged by their embassy. See a family law facilitator in the court in your county.

Yes, just send him the documents. Notaries are generally everywhere, but you may need an apostille as well so you can file the document with the court.

They have notaries in other countries. So file the petition and send him the waiver and decree to sign and return.

As long as you and your husband meet the residency requirements to confer jurisdiction upon the courts in Utah to grant you a divorce (meaning that you and your husband had to have lived in Utah as residence for no less than three months prior to filing), then yes, you can get a divorce from your deported husband in the state of Utah, especially if he's willing to cooperate with you. Otherwise, obtaining jurisdiction over someone in a foreign country is usually quite cumbersome and expensive.
