She would be able to file for divorce here in Massachusetts. Whether he could file for divorce in Jamaica, or how he could file for divorce in Jamaica would depend on Jamaican law not Massachusetts law.

He could retain a Massachusetts attorney to file in Massachusetts. Good Luck!

It depends on issues of property and children. with no children or property or significant assets or debts, the divorce can be filed anywhere.
