If it was a columbian marriage only, he may need to get a divorce there. I would consult with a Columian lawyer to see what the law is there.

My friend, Alan, is mistaken, which doesn't happen often. If your son is a Florida resident, he can get a divorce in Florida. He will need to serve his wife in Colombia, though, if he can find her. If he can't find her, he'll need to serve her by publication, but that isn't the best practice.
