Divorcing
Does anybody know if a couple who were married in the UK but have decided to divorce in Spain, if their divorce is legally recognised in other countries ie the UK.

Re: Divorcing
Cant answer the question specifically but I do have friends that have married overseas and have divorced in the UK so cant see why it wont work this way round.

Re: Divorcing
Yes the divorce is legal in other countries, but they would have to take the final divorce papers (translated if they are in a foreign language) and inform the appropriate authorities in the UK (or wherever else the marriage took place).
Hope that helps,

PS...the above is subject to being legally allowed to divorce in a different country to the one you married in.

Re: Divorcing
But remember those celebs who married abroad in countries were the marriage is not recognised in the uk?
Therefore the reverse must be true.
