IM IN THE MILITARY AND STATIONED OVERSEAS. I JUST RECENTLY GOT HERE AND MY HUSBAND IS BACK IN VIRGINIA WHERE WE GOT MARRIED. WE ARE BOTH FROM OHIO AND WE HAVE ONLY BEEN MARRIED 5 MONTHS. HE ISN'T TAKING ANY ACTION AND THE LEGAL ADVICE IM GETTING OVER HERE IS NOT HELPFUL. I NEED ADVICE TO SEE IF I CAN GET THIS DIVORCE FROM ALL THE WAY OVER IN ITALY. ARE THEIR LAWYERS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP?

An attorney could help you, but you would have to hire one.

I was told that it couldnt be done from over here. I just don't want to hire one and find out that it's not possible because I can't come back to the states any time soon.

You have to hire one in VA...and it can be done. You should not however pay the attorney the retainer unless the attorney confirms that it can be done.

In particular, she needs to address the residency requirements with the attorney. She may not meet the VA residency requirements.

Good catch...if she has maintained OH as her home state she would need to hire an OH attorney and do it there.
