Summary

A divorce obtained in Jordan is generally recognized in the USA, including New Jersey. However, it is advisable to consult a local attorney to ensure all legal requirements are met. Submitting the divorce decree to the US Embassy can help with record-keeping.

Hello ****,
Usually, if you're already divorced in one country, it is recognized in the USA. However, it's best to consult an attorney in New Jersey. It would help if you considered submitting your divorce decree to the US Embassy for their records.
