I think I would tend to agree here... The two things I would be worried about is 1) getting her back on a plane and 2) whether to file a divorce in USA or Ukraine... Not sure what city your wife is from but If you need a good lawyer in the southern part of Ukraine I can provide a suggestion.....

We were officially married in the USA. So, I do not think we'll need to UKR lawyer. But, thanks for the offer!

I do not think that is the part that matters? Marriages (and I would think divorces) are recognized worldwide and I don't think it is a mandatory requirement to perform the divorce in the same country as the marriage.

If you were married in the UA and then relocated to the USA... a few years later decided to get a divorce.. do you have to do it in the UA or USA? I may be wrong but I think the determining factor is that it needs to be done in one or the other's place of residence (wherever that happens to be at the time of filing)... not necessarily the place where it took place... A lawyer in UA will be a lot cheaper than USA....

I wish you much luck in getting resolutio to this....

Well, I guess my wife was more confused that I could have imagined when we married a few weeks back. She just told me that she wants to go home to be with someone else. That she went through the wedding with me because she really didn't know what to do. But now she knows what she wants -- and it's not me. What to do, what to do ????? :(

I'm sorry to hear that.

Depending on your state, you may be eligible for a "speedy divorce", since you haven't been married for a long time.

You should qualify for an annulment based on her admission that she wasn't really marrying you because she wanted to. I'd recommend looking into an annulment.

May I ask, how long did you two know each other before getting engaged?

You file in the jurisdiction wherein you reside at the time you decide to divorce.

I doubt that would fly in many a court. Changing one's mind or having misgivings afterwards is a far cry from fraud or, in this case, fraud through marraige by deception. If she's interested in leaving this country what did she gain through this marriage?

You can 'catch' me on here and on FBI.

You file in the jurisdiction wherein you reside at the time you decide to divorce.

If you mean you file in the jurisdiction where one of the parties resides then I agree... I know a USC who married in the USA and then whose wife subsequently returned home and he filed in HER jurisdiction.... I was living in Indiana and my ex-wife in Minnesota... I filed in Minnesota...

That's so sad for you. I hope she doesn't say that because of her home sickness taking over her normal senses. Try to keep talking.

Hello,

I wonder if she really knows what she wants?? Make sure it is not due to her being home sick that she is wanting to back out of the marrige.......Remember she has left everything she knows to be here with you......She finds herslef in a strange place with no family and no friends....Depending on you for everything. Talk with her and find out for sure what really is going on......If for a fact she left someone else behind then let her go back......Just make sure that is the case......Wouuld not want you to get a phone call in a month our two and have her say how much she missess you and wants to be with you again.....Pulling at your Heart strings.....Make sure it is what she wants.....And once she goes home there is no comming back.......
