Hello,
Both me and my wife are Bulgarian citizens and US permanent residents.
We have been in this country for 14 years. Two monts ago she filed for a divorce.
However, our marriage was never formally ratiffied or in any other form and shape validated anywhere outside Bulgaria.
Do Ohio common plea courts have any jurisdiction over our marital contract?
I as one side of it have entered it having in mind the Bulgarian laws regulations and consecuences of termination.
Bulgarian law states that "Bulgarian courts have exclusive juristiction over Bulgarian marriages even if only one of the parties is a Bulgarian citizen." Both of us still are.
Could Ohio court divorce us by applying the Bulgarian laws?
Thank you!
