Domestication is the procedure by which you ask your local court to recognize and enforce a foreign judgment. Although filing for divorce overseas may speed up the process or allow a more favorable distribution of property, the U.S. may or may not recognize the overseas decision. The procedure involving the knowledge of international law, it is usually easier to have the domestication done by an experienced attorney.
