Q: How to divorce someone who doesn't live in the United States, and never has, but was married IN the United States?
I was in a long distance relationship with my spouse, who would visit the U.S. to see me often. However, he lives in Canada. He has never lived in the U.S., only visited. On his last visit, we got married. But, never have lived together.
A: You can have an uncontested divorce and both of you can sign all of the necessary paperwork. Or if your spouse refuses to sign all the required documents, you will have to file for divorce and have him served, where ever he may be located.
