Legal Question in Family Law in Hong Kong

Marriage in Hong Kong- recognized in US?

I am a US citizen who married a Hong Kong citizen 6 years ago, in Hong

Kong. I am separated from my husband and no longer have any way of

contacting him. I returned to the US 3 years ago. Is this marriage recognized

in the US? If so, what is the quickest and easiest way to get a divorce? There

are no children or property issues. I am engaged to be married again and

would like to go ahead with it if the previous marriage is not legal and a

divorce is unnecessary, but do not know if the marriage in Hong Kong is valid

here. Thanks for your time!

If valid in Hong Kong it is recognized in Florida. You must obtain a divorce. Good luck.
