Re: divorce from over seas
You did not state which state your wife lives in. In California, you can file for a legal separation without a residency requirement. You only have to be present when you file.
Why hasn't your wife filed for divorce? She could file in which state she lives in and you could consent to jurisdiction. You need to be represented by an attorney before the action starts. Since your are out of the country communications with your attorney may be problem. Therefore you need to plan a head and have your plan to preceed with your case in place before any court action begins.
