Default Divorce from a foreigner.

Hi I got married at the Canadian embassy in Seoul, South Korea. I got married to a Nigerian man and we never registered the marriage back in Canada. The reason we never did that was because 2-3 weeks after we got married, he was deported back to Nigeria for having an expired VISA. I was not aware that he was not legal in Korea. Now it is 3 years later and I have no had contact with him except a phone call after he arrived back in Nigeria. I have no way to contact him and wish to get a divorce but not sure what I must do since I do not have any contact information for him and have no idea on how to find him. Also others have told me that I should check and see if I can even get the marriage annulled. I would appreciate any information that anyone is able to pass on to me.

Default Re: Divorce from a foreigner.

You can divorce where you reside in Canada, even without him, if you cannot locate him.

The court may have you place a notice in newspapers etc.
