What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois.
I am seeking advice on the best way to file for divorce with a German National. I am in the U.S. Miltary and married in Feb 08. We were married at a German City Hall.
My wife and I only lived together for 1 week before I was given orders to Korea. She currently lives in Germany and we own nothing jointly. We have been seperated for over 1 year. We do have a child together that I pay child support for. My daughter is considered one of my dependents and is a citizen of both U.S. and Germany. My wife will be keeping custody.
Can I file for divorce in the United States or does it have to be in Germany at the place of marriage? Can I do the divorce proceedings abroad with an online lawyer or something? I am currently stationed in Okinawa Japan. Traveling back and forth to Germany is not economical by any means. Any advice is much appreciated.
thank you
