Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

florida marriage/ German divorce

Can a marriage made in Tampa be dissolved in a court in Germany? Is there reciprocity when both agree to the divorce and there are no kids or assets? Just a simple agreed upon divorce?

That would be up to German law which most likely nobody here can advise you about. If the situation was reversed, Florida courts can dissolve a German marriage if the parties now have their primary residence here.
