Can I get a divorce in Sweden if I live abroad?

In certain situations, it may be possible for you to obtain a divorce in Sweden even if you reside abroad. However, it is not possible to provide a general answer to this question, as the possibility of divorcing in Sweden depends on a range of factors. The factors that are most significant in determining whether you can divorce in Sweden are the country (or countries) in which you and your spouse are residing, as well as the country (or countries) of which you and your spouse are citizens.

The legal framework is complex, and unless you are a lawyer specialized in private international law, you should not attempt to determine on your own whether it is possible for you to divorce in Sweden. Instead, you should consult a family lawyer with a focus on international private law, who can relatively quickly and easily assess whether it is possible for you to file for divorce in Sweden, even if you reside in another country.
