Will another country recognize this U.S. divorce? Today 12:30 PM Q. My current husband and I both previously had divorces before we got married. He’s from Nicaragua and divorced his wife from here, but now I’m told that he needs to get divorced in Nicaragua because his U.S. divorce isn’t valid there. We’re afraid if he goes there to visit his son he could get arrested for bigamy. His ex was served with divorce papers. What’s correct? — Concerned Your husband’s concerns are very valid. If your husband obtained a divorce from his former wife, to whom he was married in Nicaragua, and the divorce was entered in the United States, it may be that Nicaragua does not recognize the final judgment of divorce until it has been processed through certain document legalization services, said Jeralyn Lawrence, a family law attorney with Lawrence Law in Watchung.
