Divorce in America? Can I get a divorce in the US even if I got married in Korea?

.

One of the frequently asked questions during divorce consultations is, “If I got married in Korea but did not register the marriage in the United States, can I still get divorced in the United States?” or “Do I need to go back to Korea where I registered my marriage to start the divorce process?” Many people wonder about these issues.

If you need to go through the divorce process in Korea, it is expected that there will be significant expenses and time required for travel, which is a problem that cannot be avoided.

To answer this question, even if you registered your marriage in Korea but did not register it in the United States, you can still file for divorce in the United States.

The divorce process in the United States is based on the state where each spouse resides or where their property is located, so registering a marriage in one country is not a major factor in the divorce process. Even if you only registered your marriage in Korea, most states will recognize your marriage if you provide a translated marriage certificate that proves your marriage was legally registered in Korea. However, the requirements and procedures vary depending on the state you reside in, so it is essential to consult with a divorce attorney.

If external factors delay the divorce process, it is the divorcing parties who suffer the most. Therefore, it is crucial to seek the help of a competent and experienced divorce attorney. If you have any questions about the divorce process, please contact mail@songlawfirm.com.
