If two British expats divorce in Guam (U.S.A.) is it recognized as a legal divorce in the U.K. and Thailand?

Answer 1

If you've got the proper legal documents as proof, of course.
If you're British, then make sure you go through the procedures with British Embassy too.

To ensure it's done in Thailand, you'd be wise to get a translation done - very cheap on somewhere like Wireless Rd in Bangkok.

Answer 2

you did not mention if they are children involved in this marriage or not ?
the laws of divorce in the UK are somewhat specific to citizens , therefore i suggest to contact the home page of the UK to find out information :

Answer 3

Yes...unless you're both Irish... ;)

Seriously, most countries do recognise a divorce from another country with a government they recognise.

However, if your wife told you "I divorce thee" three times in an arabic country, it likely wouldn't be legally binding outside of the muslim world.

Answer 4

Dont know but why ask the question every five minutes?
