If you are seeking a divorce in Yemen, you will need to seek legal counsel in Yemen. I suspect there are certain residency requirements in order to file for divorce in Yemen. I would also anticipate that your spouse, who is in the US, would be entitled to notice of the proceeding (regardless of where divorce is initiated). I would strongly encourage you to seek guidance of a legal professional in Yemen if you are seeking divorce in that country.

This may depend on the laws of Yemen, with which few American lawyers are familiar. Why not divorce in the US where you can establish in advance just what your rights may be.
