Foreign Divorce
Marriage and divorce are considered matters reserved to the states rather than to the federal government in the United States. A divorce decree issued by a foreign country generally is recognized in a state on the basis of comity, provided that the parties have fulfilled the requirements imposed by the issuing country’s law as well as the state’s law.
Globetrotters and their legal advisers, beware! Married business and professional people who spend lots of time overseas-increasingly the thing to do when building a business, or just having fun, in the global village-may end up in the proverbial pickle if they get divorced.
People spend more time overseas than ever before. They might marry a foreign national in one country, parent children in another, and own a business in a third country. Our world is becoming a smaller place and this will have increasing impact on the analysis a matrimonial lawyer must bring to a new case.

Foreign Divorce
In order to qualify for a New York uncontested, "no-fault" divorce, both parties must agree to the divorce, division of all marital assets, debts, property, custody of the minor children, support for the minor children and spousal maintenance. In an uncontested divorce, the defendant can be served but if he or she does not answer the complaint in divorce then the plaintiff can seek a default judgment in divorce. The defendant can also waive his or her right to answer the complaint.
