Dear costumer,
could you please tell me where your couple life during your marriage was mainly based?
IN AND OUT, BUT AFTER MARRIAGE IN ITALY WE WENT TO CALIFORNIA FOR ALMOST A YEAR, THEN SHE WENT BACK TO ITALY AND STAYED THERE. 2 YEARS LATER SHE LIVED W ME IN BELGIUM FOR 4 MONTHS.
Dear Costumer,
thank you for your inquire.
The Italian system of private international law (article 64 l. 218/1995) provides the Principle of automatic recognition of foreign civil decisions as long as they are respectful of public order and of the right of defense. As a consequence, you do not need for sure to get divorced in Italy even if you got married here.
As far as I know there shouldn't be any of these problems with Californian laws and procedures.
Accordingly, you should not have any sort of problem in getting married again after the divorce has been declared by Californian authorities.
I hope this answers your question.
I remain at your disposal should you need any further information,
