7-Day Residency Divorce
Guam offers an ideal option for individuals looking to quickly and conveniently obtain a United States divorce. Under Guam law, if both spouses agree to the divorce and the terms, and one spouse spends a minimum of seven consecutive days on the island, they can file for divorce in Guam.
This process is efficient and straightforward. It allows both parties to avoid the often lengthy and expensive divorce procedures of other jurisdictions.
People who choose to terminate their marriage in Guam include, but are not limited to, military personnel, expatriates living or working abroad, individuals from states with burdensome or costly divorce laws, and citizens from other countries who can easily travel to Guam under USA immigration laws.

As for American civilians and military personnel overseas, many foreign countries do not allow divorce or have complex, costly processes. Guam offers a much simpler alternative with fewer bureaucratic hurdles.
