Divorce Decrees Abroad May Challenge U.S. Courts
A. A. Morrow of Drake University law school warns that federal and state constitutions lack provisions requiring U.S. courts to recognize foreign divorce decrees. He says complications arise if a man divorces abroad remarries and then dies, potentially giving both ex wives claims to his estate. If Paris was not his bona fide residence, the first wife could secure a third of the estate while the second wife might receive nothing unless willed.
