Re: Is Foreign divorce is excepted by US court''

I would have to have more information, but generally a foreign divorce is legal. If you were served papers, my response would be to file an answer with the certified divorce papers from Iran as my defense. If there's nothing to fight about (children, custody, or property) and she's not asking for anything I wouldn't waste my time even contesting it. Being twice divorced might be better than being once married.
