Married in Peru, Filed for divorce in the US

[mysterioustranger 0]

Hi,

New to the forum but read many helpful stories in the past.

Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time in advance.

I'm a US citizen and living in the US and I got married in Peru in 2005 but haven't been back since then and we never started the immigration process so the US doesn't recognize our marriage. I recently filed for divorce on my own behalf in the US to dissolve the marriage in Peru. Several issues have arose since filing for divorce:

1) My wife is not cooperating by giving me her residential address in Peru to serve her the papers.

2) Apparently I'm supposed to submit translated divorce documents to Peruvian courts to get approved before my wife can be properly served.

Questions I have are:

1) How to find a trustworthy private investigator in Peru to locate my wife so the papers can be served.

2) How to submit translated divorce papers to Peruvian courts to be approved. Several international process servers online gave me steep price quotes to do it for me but I'm unsure if these comapanies are trustworthy or not.

I currently can't afford a lawyer in Peru even if I could find a trustworthy one. They seem to charge 1200-1500 to do divorces.

Thanks Much!

A legal marriage is a legal marriage. So you are legally married here and is legal without starting some kind of immigration process.

Just get divorced in the US and screw the courts in Peru and translated copies, etc.,....you can get divorced in the US, and it doesnt matter where you were married.

Have her served thru publication....use a lawyer.
