Re: Can I get a cheap divorce

You can start a divorce from anywhere in the world. The problem you may have is that most courts require at least one of the parties to appear for the final hearing. You may be able to request the court to allow you to appear by telephone but this would be up to the individual judge who is hearing the case. Additionally, it is necessary that you establish that the Florida Court has jurisdiction over your wife and the cause.

This is a serious legal matter. You should consult with an experienced matrimonial attorney to discuss your particular issues.
