You can get a divorce in Columbia that is legal in America. Just get a normal Columbia divorce and it will be valid in NY.

If you want to get a NY divorce, I am available for $400. It is not difficult.

The least costly method may be a totally uncontested divorce in N.Y.This assumes no children nor any assets to be distributed. If so the cost can be under $1000 dollars. For more info you may contact my office @718-834-0087.
