Divorce Mexico, Haiti andDominican Republic

Thank you for visiting our website. IS THIS LEGAL? You ask avery good question.
The answer is, of course it's legal. Legal and illegal, howeverareterms that are not very relevant. Legal and illegal apply moretocriminal law. For something to be "illegal" you haveto break aspecific law. For instance, if you rob someone you havecommitted anillegal act by breaking the specific law againstrobbery. On the otherhand, any thing you do which does NOTviolate a specific law isconsidered a legal act.

There is no SPECIFIC LAW against getting divorced - in theDoiminicanRepublic, Haiti, Mexico or anywhere else - so there isno question about legality.

We think what you intend to ask is this "Is the divorcevalid?" - andthat's a much more interesting question.

The thing that must be remembered here is that we are dealingwith an area of CIVIL LAW - NOT CRIMINAL LAW. In criminal lawthingsare cut and dried - you're guilty of you're not guilty. Incivil lawNOTHING is cut and dried; the only question that appliesis "what wasthe ruling on this single, specific case"?

Here's an example that will give you an idea of just howcomplicatedcivil law can be. There was a fellow in California whowent to Nevadaand lived there the required 6 weeks beforeapplying for a divorce.The divorce was routinely heard by aNevada court that ruled that hemet the residency requirements andgranted the divorce. Shortly afterthe divorce, the fellow gotmarried. A short time after that, hedecided to return toCalifornia. When he got back to California, thewife he haddivorced filed suit in California court asking the courttodeclare his Nevada divorce invalid because he didn't resideinNevada long enough to indicate he "intended to make Nevadahispermanant residence." Now, although the Nevada court hadalready ruledthat he HAD met the requirements necessary toindicate he intended tomake Nevada his permanant residence, theCalifornia court dissagreedand declared his Nevada divorceinvalid. The end result is that, inNevada - to this day - he isconsidered divorced from his first wifeand married to his secondwife. On the other hand, In California, heis considered to stillbe married to his first wife!

In addition, his first wife attempted to have him arrested forbigamysince he was married to her and another woman at the sametime.However, the state of California declined prosecutionbecause thebigamy statute is basically a fraud statute designedto prevent peoplefrom getting married to a second partner whileknowing that a firstmarriage has not been dissolved. Therefore,it was the opinion of thestate of California that the guy was NOTguilty of bigamy because helegitimately BELIEVED he was divorcedfrom the first wife at the timehe married the second wife. What acan of worms!

So, here's the deal.
All the junk (and it is junk because it's really not relevant)that istalked about in the information against Dominican, Mexicanor Haitian divorce is correct intheory. But all it really says isthat, IF CONTESTED, a GlobalDivorce™ MIGHT bedeclared INVALID. Yeah, well, so might a Nevadadivorce, aCanadian divorce or any other divorce - in theory. However,theassertion that a Global Divorce™ is generally notvalid oraccepted, is just pure bull.

Sure, there are some court cases where a specific court, on aspecificday, for a specific case found that a GlobalDivorce™ was not valid.However, there are also numerouscases where a court ruled that thedivorce was valid. But the factis, that thousands of Dominican, Mexican or Haitian divorces aregranted every year, go uncontested and are routinelyaccepted asvalid. We have had clients present a Global Divorce™decree toIRS, Social Security, Immigration and Naturalization andabout everyother agency and jurisdiction you can name and havethe divorceacepted with NO PROBLEM.

So what's all the controversy about? It's about theory - the kindofthing lawyers just love to argue about. See, in civil law, youcanargue a case from any position and you can always sightprevious courtcases where the court decided the issue in yourfavor because, if it'sa question that's been around for awhile -like Dominican Divorce, Haiti or Mexico has- there are alwayshundreds of court cases that were decided pro andcon. That's thenature of civil law.

Now, in the real world, it works like this:
You get a Global Divorce™ through the DominicanRepublic, Haiti or Mexico, any State in theU.S., Canada or anyother jurisdiction and it's legal as long as itwas properly doneaccording to the laws of the jurisdiction where itwas done andit's also considered valid. In the case of the GlobalDivorce™do through the Dominican Republic, Haiti orMexico or State Court Magistrate, attaches astatement that saysthe divorce is worthy of "Full Faith and Credit".Atthat point it's as valid as any other divorce. And, if no oneeverchallenges the divorce in court, it remains forever valid.

But what happens if someone DOES challenge the validity of aspecific Global Divorce™? THAT'S when you get intothe whole can ofworms called civil law. Anything can happen -whether you're talkingabout Global Divorce™ orGerman divorce or any other type of legalaction. The point is,that Global Divorce™ is just as valid - notmore so -not less so - than a divorce issued by any otherjurisdiction.They can all be challenged and a court can rule anythingthe judgedecides is correct on that particular day for thatparticulardivorce. However, that particular decision DOES NOT effectanyother divorce - only the one being challenged.

Okay, so you get a legal,
Global Divorce™ which, in the opinion ofthe U.S. Embassy orUS court in the Republic of Haiti, Mexico or Dominican Republicis a valid and worthy of"Full Faith and Credit" . . .that remains the case forever - unlesssomene wants to male a bigdeal and argue it in court. That neverhappens with 99.9% of all
Global Divorces™ and the divorce isroutinely honored underCOMITY (by the way, the assertion that a stateis not REQUIRED tohonor the divorce under comity is correct; whatthey don't tellyou - and therefore mislead you about - is that statesalmostalways DO accept Global Divorces™ as kind of acourtesy).
Anyway, back to challenging Global Divorce™. Who cando that? Theanswer that any agency or jurisdiction that it'spresented to can saythat they won't accept it or that theybelieve it's not valid. Thathowever does NOT make the divorceinvalid - it just means that theydon't accept it - it's stillvalid in EVERY OTHER JUSRISDICTION andEVERY OTHER SITUATION. Butthe only way to have the divorce actuallydeclared invalid for allpurposes is to file a court case and have ajudge decide.Basically, there are only two people in the wholeuniverse who cando that: you and your spouse. If you spouse signedand agreed tothe divorce, there is actually only one person who canask for acourt decision and that's YOU. Why, because under thefairnessdoctrine known as "Estoppel" your spouse is precludedfromchallenging the divorce since she previously agreed to it.
So, who can create a problem? You. But why would you want to?

Just take your decree when you receive it and proceed as if itwasgranted by any other state or jurisdiction because it's justas valid.The odds are better than 99 out of a 100 that you'llnever have aproblem. In the extremely unlikely event that you dohave a problemand a court rules your divorce not valid, than wewill honor ourguarantee that's a part of the contract you signed.We should, however,like to say once again that we have never -out of hundreds ofGlobal Divorces™ done over anearly 10 year period - had a courtrule that a divorce wasinvalid.
So relax. Forget the theoretical world of civil law where anykind ofa ruling is POSSIBLE. In the real world, as of right now,you have a100% legal and valid divorce. It's extremely unlikelythat anythingwill ever occur to change that fact.
