Divorce law is unconcerned with citizenship. The only factor necessary to obtain a divorce in Pennsylvania is that the parties actually be married. Some counties require a copy of the marriage certificate, while others do not. A no fault divorce can be obtained on one of 2 grounds, separation of at least one year, or consent after 90 days following filing and service of the complaint.
