Married overseas-and want divorce

[emb7906]

Do I need to find a special lawyer that deals with international law for this situation?

Is it possible to do this type of divorce as a DYI?

Any idea of how much this type of divorce may cost- rough est.?

-No property, no children; ex lives abroad and wants divorce however is being quite difficult with situation-not sure he would sign*.

*Can I do as a dissertion?

-Also I was never financially responsible for him or vice versa(we married 5 yrs ago)-however he is very unstaible job wise- and I do not want him to be able to get any maintenance from me- would that be difficult to have happen?

You can file for a divorce in the state in which you are domiciled. It does not matter that he is overseas.

Your state may have all the forms online at the state law library. You can check.

As far as maintenance, that veries from state to state. Here, you'd be laughed out of the court room for asking. I don't think he will get it.

IF you two do the div. yourselves, the cheapest route, you will know because it is uncontested. These are simple forms, you will see if you can find them.
