My daughter got married to an person of Indian Origin who is a citizen of USA. He was residing in Bombay(India), and the marriage also took place in Bombay. He had verbally promised her that he would stay permanently in Bombay since he does not like USA. He even had an apartment in Bombay where the couple stayed for about three months. His parents are based in USA. However, three months after marriage he said that he wishes to settle down in USA with his parents. My daughter did not like the place in USA where they were staying. And since she was promised that she would always be residing in Bombay, she came back to India. Now this guy has applied for a divorce in USA and may get an ex-parte Divorce order too. Is this order valid in India ? (The marriage was solemnized in India). How will she know that the order has been passed and what if he marries someone in USA without informing my daughter about the ex parte order Kindly advise

 Before marriage, my husband had told me that he had been married previously but had been divorced. We married in Las Vegas in 2003. He recently confessed that he was still married when he left New York 8 years ago but has had no contact with his previous spouse after he left New York to come to California. He said he thought he was divorced because his former spouse went looking for him at his parents’ house after he moved to California to find him so she could request a divorce since she wanted to remarry. He did receive paperwork for the divorce request, but he never signed them or contested them. He does not want to look into it to see if he is indeed divorced because he does not want to “open a can of worms.” Due to unrelated issues, I am now seeking a divorce. However, I am wondering if our marriage was ever legal in the first place. I would much rather have our marriage voided instead of going through a sticky divorce. Is there any resource for me to find out if he is still married? Or does the fact that he has not been in contact with his former spouse for over ten years completely void his previous marriage? Thank you in advance for all your help.

I’m an American and Italian Citizen….was born in Philadelphia Penn. and raised in Long Beach, New York. I met my husband in Long Beach, NY, in 1990, and we got married in city hall in Long Beach, New York, on September 21, 1992…he abandoned my then two-year-old son and me in December of 1995, to go back to his country in Peru. I decided to come to Italy, where my parents lived and live here with my child. I’ve been living here in Italy since my husband left my son and me in December 95. My son is now is 18 years old, and my husband is living in Milan, Italy, with his girlfriend. I wish to get a divorce here, but they say it’s going to take three long years. Can I go to the States and go to City Hall in Long Beach to file for a divorce so I could have my divorce in a short time? Please help me and advise me on what to do. If I need to go to Long Beach New York to file for a divorce and I know it will be sooner here than in Italy will do so. I am waiting for your reply.

My friends were born and married in Ireland. They have been separated for 20 years now, and one of them has lived in New York and become a “Green Card” resident. How does a NY resident get a divorce from the spouse in Ireland? Do they both have to agree, or since it has been so long, is it a paperwork only situation? My friend in NY wants the divorce, but the spouse in Ireland is not willing to sign papers. Complicated, I know, but I believe there is an answer somewhere. Thank you.

My boyfriend has been separated from his wife for about 2yrs. He tried to file for divorce in Orlando because that is where they renewed their vows. The grounds for divorce are cheating on her behalf. When given documentation, she refuses to sign. There is no property involved, and they have two children together. Question. Since he was initially married in the state of New York, can he file for divorce here in NYC? He has recently relocated back to NYC. Thank you.
