What are the steps to take to make a divorce legal. I know I need a lawyer, what else do I need? -

Does the lawyer notifies the divorce to the partner? What should I expect from the lawyer? If I was married in another country but currently live in another, does that matter? Will it influence the outcome, slowing it down? Thank you.

Well, I am certainly not a lawyer, and don t remotely pretend to offer quality legal advice. Me giving legal advice makes about as much sense as some hardware store guy trying to cure a sunburn. But, reading your question makes me think the other answerers may have missed a point. You mention that you were married in country quot;xquot; and you live in country quot;yquot;. They re assuming that country quot;yquot; is America, and their advice is geared to this situation. So my comment is that if you are not a resident of the USA, the legal comments and advice mentioned on this site to your question probably do not apply. John Jones, M.D.

You ll probably need some proof of your marriage. The attorney will serve the other party. There will be a court date, the case will be proved up, the other party has their say, the judge makes a determination regarding divorce, distribution of property and custody of children. The order is recorded. Being married outside the country shouldn t have a major impact as long as you are legal resident here.

Do not have to have a lawyer. Go and get forms from court. Fill out forms, send to court Have your ex served. Go to court, have hearing..divorce final 6 months later If children or large amounts of money are involved, tey complicate process.
