In a word, no. In order to file for a divorce in the USA one of the parties must either be 'habitually resident' there or domiciled there i.e. must have been born there, even if living in another country. So, if neither the Petitioner or Respondent are living there (for at least the past year) and are both British citizens then the only option is to file in the English divorce courts. The English courts can, of course, dissolve a marriage contracted anywhere in the world. The best source of advice I have found about overseas divorce is:- www.divorce-lawfirm.co.uk as they have losts of fact-sheets you can download.
