How much will a divorce cost me?

Where you married should not matter, so long as it was legal where it was done.  I do not know what "recognized" means -- domesticated?  Litigated? You do not indicate who was where when, and who left the other; the last matrimonial domicile makes a difference as to which court might have jurisdiction.  See the materials (including the article "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction") posted at: http://willicklawgroup.com/grounds-and-jurisdiction/ http://willicklawgroup.com/divorce/ http://willicklawgroup.com/property-rights-and-division/ If you still have questions, which is likely, I suggest you write out a "timeline" or chronology to show what happened in what order (for some assistance, see the guide for making such timelines we posted at http://willicklawgroup.com/consultation-policies/; if you need further assistance, and specific advice tailored to your particular circumstances, you really should schedule a consultation with this or some other family law specialist firm.
