I'm curious how do the guys that are stationed in Europe or the Pacific and marry a USC, get divorced in the states? Does it matter that they have a foreign marriage cert.?

If you marry a us citizen then you have a us marriage license.

I married a USC but all we have is the British License. I know guys in my boat that have got divorced but I've always wondered if they had to something special.

Gotta disagree with you here - if I understand you correctly.



I got married in Korea to another US mil person.



We have a marriage cert, but it's Korean.



We then had to go to the Embassy in Seoul and register the marriage. All acceptable and meets US and mil requirements for marriage.



But man, it was a royal PITA - took about an entire day, running from Korean office to office...yuk.



We were later divorced in US court.



So to answer your question, "No it didn't matter that we had a foreign marriage cert."

What if all you had was the foreign cert.?

Thought I answered that, but maybe I misunderstood.



Having the foreign cert didn't matter one bit.



That cert was registered at the Embassy.

OK hold on - maybe I was wrong.



I dug out my cert, and it's entitled "REPORT AND CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE (USFK REG 600-240)"



Form is USFK form 164



Think I was a little confused...sorry.

I don't know what these guys had, all I have is a cert from the Ely registrar office in the U.K.. Maybe we're not even legal here!

When I was in Germany the last time, I was going to get married to a soldier, my best friend, in fact.Six foot one, hundred ninety pounds, big pointy tits, cold blue eyes...

I thought the chaplain would marry soldiers, but then when we started checking about it, I found that we had to get married by the Germans, and I was like

Then she decided we didn't want to get married after all.

Damn, I was lucky that time.She'd have hurt my heart worse, later.

In my case, that would've been a good thing.



Was gonna take a pic of the entire thing, but there's too much personal info on this, and it would take me an hour to black it all out - so all you get is this.








I had no idea Korea kept a copy on file.
