I recently went to trial with a case that involved a client living in South America and the other party lived in Massachusetts. These cases are very complex and not something that can be given proper attention over an internet blog. I am happy to give a consultation on this matter for free. Please call me and we can set something up. Joseph Chancellor (617) 725-2675

the locus of the actual residence is where the divorce can be filed. Absence of consent by one spouse for a divorce is of no value. While it takes two to make it, it only takes one to break it!

You need to determine which place has jurisdiction over the proceedings.
