    Default Re: Getting Divorced After Marrying in Uganda

    I had heard once that the marriage isn't legal unless it is registered in the States and that you couldn't change your name unless you had a marriage certificate from the States. That is why I was asking about it.

    I want to divorce him, but do not know how to do it. I don't know if I can just file it here in Wisconsin or if I have to file it in Uganda.

    Default Re: Getting Divorced After Marrying in Uganda

    if you are a resident of Wisconsin, you can file for the divorce in Wisconsin. Not knowing Ugandan law, I have no idea what actions you would have available to you there.

    Of course, serving him in Uganda might be a problem.

    Since your marriage in Uganda would be recognized in the states, as long as changing your name when getting married in Uganda is legal, then I see no reason the SS person should have questioned your request. Maybe it's because she does not know Ugandan law and looked puzzled but took your word for it as being allowed.
