How does a US citizen file from divorce from a Spanish resident?

Out of country divorces are a little more complicated but the process is pretty much the same as any other divorce. 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.
