Question #106: I got married in the Philippines 2004 and went back to Ireland and got seperated in 2-3mos just right after the marriage. I wasnt able to file a divorce/annulment due to some financial reasons. My question is, can i file for a divorce here in CA. though i am just on a visitor’s visa? I am about re-marry soon with my fiancee who is an American Citizen. Please enlighten me. I will greatly appreciate, Many thank’s

These are all questions that must be answered before a determination can be made where the proper jurisdiction is for you to file for your divorce.
