I live in the Phillppines. My husband has lived in the USA for most of my 7 years of marriage. I have decided to divorce. He is not a US citizen, neither am I. Can I travel to California where he lives and file divorce papers? How do I get started?

Why not just file for divorce where you are now living? You do not have to divorce in the US>

What about an annulment?
Philippine law, in general, does not provide for divorce inside the Philippines. The only exception is with respect to Muslims, who are allowed to divorce in certain circumstances. For those not of the Muslim faith, the law only allows annulment of marriages
