I just read this:

"[Foreign nationals] can get divorced in England provided that at least one of you has been habitually resident in England for the year leading up to the date when you file for divorce."

That's not true for us.  I've lived here only three months, so it looks like H can't file here until September 2013.  H can't file in the US until end of next summer.

That gives you some time, IANTE.

Before you offer him any type of deal in exchange for a quick DR divorce, please go to a lawyer and find out what the situation really is for you; those guidelines are just that -- guidelines.
