You must have someone in that country serve a copy of the divorce complaint and a summons upon your spouse there and sign an affidvait provided by you before a notary public in that country stating

where and on what date the papers were served upon your spouse. That affidavit is then filed with the court here.

Re: Serving Dicorce Papers in a Foreign Country

You need to retain an attorney to represent you in your divorce proceeding.

Your attorney will assist you with having your husband properly served, via a process server, internationally. Of course, this can be extremely difficult, but it is necessary to be sure that your divorce proceeding is valid, even if your husband does not want to particpate actively. Due process of law requires that any party to litigation receive notice and opportunity to be heard.

Regarding the issue of whether a NJ divorce can be legal in Ecuador, that would depend on the laws of Ecuador.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
