Usually alimony is not given for a marriages under 3 years. If the Judge gives you money it will be a lump sum payable wherever you are.

Re: Divorce overseas

Thank you for your inquiry. You would need to file for divorce here in Las Vegas. If you are entitled to alimony payments and are able to get a decree ordering such assistance your husband could not avoid payment only because you moved overseas.

However, if you ever wanted to modify your divorce decree you would need to do it in Las Vegas.
