Answer Hi Louie~
As long as you've lived in the US, in whatever state you are living in, for the required amount of time (new residents that move to a new state have a time frame that they must live in the new state, before filing for a divorce). In most states the required residency is 90 days. After that you most certainly can file for a divorce. Just tell them your situation and it shouldn't be a problem. The worst they could say is no (which I don't see why they would if you are a US citizen and a resident of one of the 50 states) then you might have to make a trip back to the Philippines to file for a divorce there. You can use "irreconcilable differences" for the reason in the divorce. That covers several reasons for a divorce.
