Hi there,

As a US citizen living outside the US, you may be able to file for divorce in the US state where you were last residing. You may also be able to file in the state where your spouse currently resides or where you both last lived together as a married couple. However, the specific process may vary depending on the state and your unique situation. It's recommended that you consult with a family law attorney or use an online legal service for guidance.
