Legal Question in Family Law in California
Divorce of two foreign nationals
Can a Colombian woman file for divorce from a Colombian man (married in Colombia) in California? Both currently reside and work in the U.S. (the woman on an F-1 visa in CA, the man on an H-1B in VA) but are trying to negotiate a divorce in Colombia. Things are not going well and I want to know if the woman can sue for divorce in California, unilaterally. If so, what is the best kind of attorney to retain for this situation? Any special requirements she should know about? Thank you!

In a general sense, in order to file for dissolution of marriage in California, one needs to have resided in the state for 6 months and the county for 3 months continually.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
