A divorce decree granted by a foreign country where BOTH parties submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the court of such country, and in which there is no fraud or coercion involved, will be given recognition in New York courts.  Such a divorce decree is not entitled to recognition if it is shown that the person seeking the divorce is guilty of fraud or some kind of trickery in securing the other spouse's appearance in the divorce.  The mere fact that a divorce is from another country does not make it a problem.  Provided that the jurisdictional requirements of the other country are met and both parties participate in the divorce, then New York should recognize the divorce.  You should consult with an attorney in your area to review the particulars of your situation before relying on the advice and information provided above. - Alfred Polizzotto, III

If it is inherited money or a gift specifically to you and it has never been put in a joint account it is separate property, not subject to equitable distribution in a divorce. You should consult a local divrce attorney and discuss your situation in detail: it is the responsibility of a person who claims separate property to prove its separate nature.
