Best Answer

If you are a United States citizen but married in another country then you can file for divorce in the state (or states) in which you or your spouse is a resident of. Additionally, Divorces obtained in other countries will generally be recognized by the United States as long as no person's rights were violated. This means that contested divorces may not be allowed unless the defendant spouse was notified and had a chance to respond. Uncontested divorces are generally recognized, however, and are often very easy to obtain

Can one person be divorced and the other still married?

In the US... Assuming you're talking about two people married to each other, no, one can't still be married and the other be divorced. They're either both married to each other or both divorced from each other. It is possible that a divorce was granted without one party being aware of it, if they were unable to locate that person to serve notice of the divorce, in which case they do a divorce by publication (publish a legal notice in the newspaper).

Marriage laws are determined by your state of residence. Most states follow the general rules that if your marriage was legal in the place you got married, it is legal and valid in other states/countries too. If you were married in Guatemala and the marriage was valid there, you will have to get a divorce before you can remarry. You can divorce in the state where you now live.
