Darby, PA asked in Divorce for Pennsylvania

Q: My husband left me over 9 years ago. How do I get a divorce from him with us being in different countries?

He isn't from the USA. He went back home to his own country before he received his green card. We don't have children or property. I don't want anything from him but a divorce.

A: If he is willing to cooperate in the divorce process and does not want to have any other issues addressed either, then it would not be terribly complicated. However, if he will not agree you will likely need an attorney to assist you in getting permission to serve him specially at the very least.
