Can I file for divorce in the US when I got married in another country?

Yes. The place where you were married has nothing to do with where you can or must get a divorce. Where you are living on a permanent basis at the time you desire to end the marriage is what controls where you can get divorced.

Do you mean that you both want a divorce when you say "mutual agreement in divorce" or that you agree on parts of the divorce itself? Maintenance depends on how much property you receive in the divorce, your reasonable needs (i.e., how much cash do you need to live on each month), length of marriage, lifestyle during marriage and other factors. It's hard to say how long or how much. Often we see 1/3 to 1/2 the length of the marriage, but it can be longer in long marriages. The amount will depend on the above factors, but I might expect a court to order anywhere from $2,000 to $4,500 per month. You really should hire a lawyer here since so much money is at stake. You can ask that the court order him to pay your attorney fees since he makes so much more than you. You also can ask for temporary maintenance if you need are having trouble meeting your needs now. I offer a free initial consultation if you want to discuss further.  You can reach Dave Rich at (303) 886-2516 or dave@flatironlegal.com. Dave Rich is an attorney licensed in Colorado. Answering your questions does not create an attorney-client relationship between us. You should speak with an attorney to whom you have provided all the facts in your case, before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. I am not obligated to answer subsequent emails or phone calls unless you have hired me. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.

Haven't seen my husband in 27 yrs (and don't want to) what is the fastest/cheapest/easiest way to disolve the marriage?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)

Missing spouse cases are complicated because you have to petition the court to allow you to serve him by publication (the newspaper process you heard about). Part of the petition is proving to the court that you tried to locate him and could not (we usually have a private detective to an electronic search for a missing spouse and submit the PI's report to the court with the motion). You then have to publish in the newspaper for 5 weeks. Then you follow all the other procedures and file all the required "normal" paperwork. None of this is cheap or fast (I'd expect it to take 5-6 months). We do these cases regularly on a flat fee basis if you would like assistance. For $795, we do all the paperwork and assist you through the whole process, including consulting with one of our attorneys (you are responsible for filing, court costs and fees). Our goal is to help you get though the process faster than you could on your own, make sure all the procedures and documents are done correctly, and, help you avoid having to set foot in a courtroom as well. Feel free to call me if you would like to discuss your case further. I hope this helps.
