QUESTION
Can I get a divorce if I am a Romanian Citizen but my wedding took place in the US?
Asked on May 06th, 2015 on Divorce - Nebraska
More details to this question:
I married my ex in 2001 while working on a cruise ship. He was fired in 2002 and we both came to Romania. I am Romanian and he is British. We have a daughter born in 2003. He got hired abroad and visited us a few more times. Last time was in 2005. Since then we had no contact. The process of divorce and child support in Romania is very long and I am wondering if you can help me and my daughter get what we deserve: my freedom and her monthly allowance. Thank you.

In most countries, you can only file an action for divorce if you are a resident of that country, or if the other spouse is a resident of that country. In other words, you could file in Britain if Romania has too lengthy a process. You would have to find a British lawyer to represent you. Good Luck.

Unfortunately to my knowledge you must get divorced where you (or he) resides..it does not matter where you got married.

You can get a divorce where you are now a resident regardless of where you got married.

For most states in USA, jurisdiction is based on the residency of the parties. You should talk to a lawyer in the country/area where you live about how to divorce. Best wishes!
