Can there be two open cases for divorce in two separate counties?

Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
   Since there are two open  cases, then there can be.  However, it is improper.  Typically, the proper venue (assuming both parties live in Florida) to file the divorce case is the county where the parties last resided together as husband and wife.  If that is the county where you filed the action, then you should notify the clerk of the court in the county where your husband filed that there is, in fact, another action pending.  If you served him with papers and he does not answer, you can file to have him defaulted.   However, so you do not end up with inconsistent results, you should file a Motion to Dismiss the case in the other county and, in the alternative, a Motion to Transfer Venue, explaining the situation.   Best of luck, Cindy S.

One has nothing to do with the other. You can request alimony in WA if you have a need and he has the ability to pay. His legal status in the US in not before the family court.

US citizen married a Domincan Republic citizen

Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
Dear Mr. Scampton:         In order to obtain a divorce in Florida either your wife or you must have been living in the state for at least 6 months prior to filing the petition for dissolution.  You do not say where your wife has been living.  However, if you have both been in the DR for two years, you cannot file in Florida.  I hope this answers your question.   Best of luck, Cindy S. Vova Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. Broward-Miami-Dade-Boca Raton 954-316-3496 561-962-2785
