Re: divorce that is granted in Czech

A Massachusetts court does not have to recognize a divorce from a foreign country. However, since you are a citizen of that country, the court may recognize it. In particular, the court should recognize it if the divorce terms are fair and reasonable. You can get the Massachusetts Court to recognize a foreign divorce by filing an action to recognize a foreign divorce or an action to enforce a foreign divorce.
