I am wondering if anyone can help me answer this for a friend.
They're both in Kuwait. Her husband is American; she's not. They have children together. He has dumped her for another woman and moved out of their house, leaving her to pay the bills.
Now, here comes my questions: How does she resolve this? Does she have to go to the US to get a US divorce lawyer and sue him for child support and alimony? Can she find a lawyer in Kuwait?
My first question would be "where did they get married"? and I'll have to find out.
Anybody have advice? Lawyer contacts?

I'm a former divorce attorney from Michigan working here as a corporate attorney. Several issues arise when determining jurisdiction for filing divorce. For instance, is his employer an American company? Secondly, do they have a residence in the States (where they can demonstrate they are residents in said state, i.e., house, bank accounts, etc)? Thirdly, are they Muslim? Lastly, how young are the children and are there any boys? Many answers have to be addressed before determining where to file the divorce claim. My recommendation is to locate a divorce lawyer in their home state who has substantial experience in international cases such as this, and to seek counsel of a family lawyer here in Kuwait who also has experience with AMERICAN expats.
Hi Paul and thank you so much for writing back to elaborate.
A divorce decree is a ruling that summarizes the rights and responsibilities of the divorced parties. It is the final judgment of divorce. The divorce decree is a document that states the basic information regarding the divorce, case number, the names of the parties, date of divorce, and the terms the parties have agreed upon or the court's decision.
Dating after divorce can be an unsettling time - particularly if it has been a while since you have dated. Here I discuss why it's a good idea to slowly edge yourself back into the dating scene by making some new friends first.
