Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: can i get a divorce in another country if i have exhausted all other options

You could, but it wouldn't accomplish anything. There is no obligation for an American jurisdiction to recognize a Dominican divorce and the likelihood is that as far as your state law is concerned you would still be married.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

Re: can i get a divorce in another country if i have exhausted all other options

It is possible. The question is whether any documents have been filed in the NY court. Is there an "index number"? If not, Tiajuana, Santa Domingo, are good options. Personally, I recommend Israel. Also Cyprus is an excellant option.

But if there is an index number, then there are problems with going to another country. Cyprus becomes perhaps your only option for this solution.

But I do not understand why you do not put the case in front of a judge. If you do that, it is out of his hands. He does not have to agree to anything, the judge makes an "order" and that is the law. He is done.

Do you have an attorney? This kind of thing is not expensive at all!

You are welcome to a consultation at no fee at my offices at 42 West 44th Street (near Times Square). Please call for an appointment first (646) 591-5786.
