[quote=GUEST20856,594540]I just helped an American citizen who married a Chinese citizen in China get the ball rolling to Divorce her. No you DO NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO CHINA. Go to the website for your local court. Example; in Brooklyn NY go to the Kings County court website and search for "Uncontested Divorce" and search for the forms. If the wife is willing to sign forms it will be over faster, if not you can still get it over with pretty quickly. 1. Fill out the forms to initiate Divorce (Summons & Verified Complaint) and pay a filing fee at the clerk's office. It's $210 in New York. The Divorce is filed now. 2. Fill out a divorce waiver form for the spouse to sign and give her copies of the forms on step one. 3. If she doesn't sign, go back to court with the form requesting that she gets served, it's free. The court will try to serve her, if they can't find her they will "serve by publication"..put an ad in the papers in the last known city in the country where she lives. 4. she has 21 days to send an Original answer to your divorce summons or have a lawyer respond. 5. on the 21st day after you serve her, go back to court with the request for a court date form and the court will set a court date to divorce by default. This is why it's called an uncontested divorce. 6. Get a certified copy of the divorce decree and take it to the US Embassy/Consulate just like you did when you were married. Give a copy to the spouse to take to her local court for resolution. The forms are all available online with instructions and it costs about $400 to divorce anybody, anywhere...unless they get a lawyer and then you have a problem. If kids are involved or you want something out of the divorce..you cannot file for uncontested/no default divorce. You can only do this if you want to split with nothing.[/quote]
