We have a lot of experience with divorces such as yours where a spouse lives overseas. We also speak Spanish if that is a consideration. Please call our office to set up an appointment (no charge) to discuss your situation.
Re: divorce outside U.S.
Go to the clerk's office in your district and they will give you the divorce packet. The most important part of this process is giving your husband notice in the Phillipines that you have filed the action against him. This must be done under the laws of Connecticut to be valid.
It's always safest to retain an attorney rather than to represent yourself.
