Re: CA vallidity of Dominican Divorce
Your friend must meet the residence requirements of a Dominican court. This is a dangerous plan. It is so much easier to obtain a California dissolution and wait the required six months. It is possible that the out of country divorce might no be recognized by a government agency such as social security. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
