If you are married under the laws of Another Country, you are considered married throughout the world. If you have one wife, you cannot legally marry another. It is bigamy and is against the law in the United States.

No. I don't think it would be legal. I know people go to Mexico for divorce, but there is special paperwork and requirements that they meet. But, if you wanted to go to Germany for divorce I don't think you could. The laws there are German, not American law.
