QUESTION
Is there a way to simply file the divorce papers from a state, and have it sent to an Austrian court?
Asked on May 22nd, 2014 on Divorce - Ohio
More details to this question:
I have been an Ohio resident for almost a year now. I got married to my spouse over a year ago in Austria where we used to live. He promised to move to the US - my home country - with me, but after six months, he decided to move back to Austria on his own and end our relationship. He agreed to get divorce, and I asked him to inquire about the divorce process, since he lives in Austria and I figured we have to get divorced under Austrian law. But he hasn't been taking action. I don't want to sue him, and we agreed that we want to get divorced with "no fault". But I don't have the time or money to fly to Austria right now and get it done. On the other hand, he is not willing to fly to the US. What can I do? Thank you so much for your help.

Actually, you can get a divorce here in Ohio. If your husband hasn't actually lived here the court wouldn't have jurisdiction to deal with any support issues, but it would have jurisdiction to terminate your marriage.

If you meet the residency requirements to divorce in Ohio, you would be able to do so, whether or not your spouse is a resident.
