A:
Divorce involving multiple countries, like the USA and the Czech Republic, can be complicated, but there are steps you can take to protect your interests. Since your marriage was in the USA and you reside in California, you can file for divorce in California. This allows you to address property division, spousal support, and other matters under California law.
Your husband's residency in the Czech Republic may impact issues like enforcement of spousal support or property division across borders. It might be helpful to work with an attorney familiar with international divorce to ensure that any agreements or court orders are recognized in both countries.
You can start by seeking legal counsel in California to file for divorce and address your immediate needs, such as spousal support. An attorney in the Czech Republic may also be necessary to handle any legal matters specific to that country.
