German Divorce procedures
Hello,
I am an American Citizen who married a German Citizen in Germany in 2005. In less than a year, I desided I wanted out of the relationship. We both wrote and signed a paper stating we agreed to be separated from each other as per what a German Lawyer told us to do. I have moved back to the US since then, and I am currently getting the run around from my soon to be Ex. What I would like to know, is how difficult it is to obtain a German divorce, and is it more complicated since one party is not in Germany? And what are the procedures that need to go on before it is decreed a divorce? We have almost been separated for 2 years now. I am not the type to care about money or getting anything from the divorce, all I want is the freedom to marry again if the opportunity arises. I just don't want it hanging over my head for the rest of my life.
Thanks for any answers that come my way
