but it cost more to get divorced over then here in miami. I have my marriage certificate I wanted to know if I can just go to a notary and have them divorce me since I didnt get married here in florida. Is that possible. I dont know where she lives as we dont speak anymore and I want to get this over with. We dont have kids we have nothing together. Do I have to go to court and if I do.. do I have to see her?

You can't go to a notary. There is no such thing in FL. If you have resided in Florida for more than six months, you can file for divorce here. The issue will be in serving her with the law suit. It will be take some time but it can be done. One of the ways to get it done will be by publication. If you really want to get divorce, do yourself a huge favor and contact a local family attorney and do it right from the beginning. Good luck.

Whatever the divorce processes might be in Cuba or Florida, neither is a matter of US immigration law to informing the public on matters related to which this forum is dedicated.

If you have lived in the state of Florida for 6 months or more, you can file for divorce here. However, once there is the added issue of serving someone in a foreign country, whether by publication or with a process server, it would be best to consult an attorney. Good luck!

I'm not sure why your question is in an immigration law section, but if your divorce is necessary for any future bona fide U.S. immigration case, your divorce from Cuba may not be valid here in the U.S. (at least for immigration purposes) and especially if you don't know where your wife is. There are jurisdictional issues that may affect the validity of your divorce so I suggest you seek the assistance of a family law attorney.
