Great web site.Sure to get lots of prayers from the sufferers of once holly/now hell marriages. Here is my question: My wife and I are foreign nationals, OR residents. While she was abroad for more than a year she has filed for divorce in our original home country.The case is under progress.Now she is back in OR and has gotten “a petition for seperation” issued as well as a “Groundless, restraining order” put in place. She got the petition served to me by tricking me into seeing our little kid scam. Can she file for this or do anything else legally while her original filing for divorce is in place and followed up by her local attorney abroad? She did do it right after she got back into the States after an absence of more than a year. Of course all she is trying to do is to hurt me in anyway she can.THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE AND GOD BLESS FOR THIS SITE.

My best friend has been legally married to his wife for three years now, but they have NEVER lived together since getting married. He resides iV.A.VA for work, and she resides in Queens, NY, with their three-year-old daughter. They just got a legal separation document in March of 2008. My question is since they have not resided together with the entire duration of the marriage and they have not slept together in 2 years, do they have to wait out the legal separation period of a year to have a finalized divorce, or can they divorce now? They both agree it is a no-fault divorce. Please advise, he would like to end this marriage sooner rather than later. Thanks!

My girlfriend was married many years ago in Bahamas. She lived with her husband for a very short period of time in which he beat her. She has police reports to prove. She had sent money to a friend in Bahamas to do the divorce and really never got anything back. We want this straightened out. How do we proceed without involving this abusive ex husband. She is away from him for many year (5+) and is a new york resident her entire life. No kids.

I am a citizen of France but have immigrated to the United States and are permanent residents in the United States. My husband left me two years ago to go back and live in France, although he still holds permanent residence status in the United States. He filed for divorce in France, and I received a letter saying that I must go to French Courts. I do not know if the french courts are aware that I am permanently residing in the US. Do the French courts have jurisdiction? If I file for divorce in the US (California), will the US court have jurisdiction, even though my husband lives in France?

JURISDICTION My husband and I were married 16 months ago in NY. We both lived in NY at the time. Five months ago, he abandoned me, moving to DC. We both lived in DC before our marriage (not together), although I was a student and NY domiciliary throughout my time there. I have not lived in DC for 2 1/2 years or been there otherwise except for a visit five months ago. He wants to petition for divorce in DC, because he can do so more quickly and because he does not have grounds against me in NY. Although there are no significant marital assets in contention, I do not believe that he is entitled to anything because he abandoned me. Moreover, I am the primary breadwinner, and I do not want to be responsible for paying him alimony. I recognize that his domicile in DC gives them grounds to end our marriage, but, if I do not participate in the proceedings, will they have grounds to obtain any of the assets in my possession in NY or to force me to pay alimony?
