You would file for the divorce in the appropriate court of your state
of residence and take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that
your wife is served with a copy of the divorce papers in El Salvador.
A local attorney in your area who handles domestic relations matters should be able to further explain the procedures to you and should be well
worth the price of a consultation on the matter.
