Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Thank you for your question.

El Salvador should recognize your divorce, just as it would recognize your validly entered-into marriage. Your best bet would be to check with an El Savadorian attorney and get a clear answer on that before retaining counsel here in Massachusetts to assist you in becoming divorced. Good luck and don't hesitate to contact our office if we can be of some assistance.

You should get divorced in the state where you are living. It's very important. Failing to do this can lead to later remarriages being invalidated. As to whether El Salvador will recognize your Massachusetts divorce, this varies based on the country. In some cases, you can need to go through a separate divorce procedure in the other country. However, if you are living in Massachusetts, it is important to take care of the Massachusetts divorce regardless of where you were married.
