A Guam divorce offers an inexpensive alternative for

or locations, including the U.S. mainland, where a divorce is difficult, time consuming and costly. A Guam

terms of the divorce and at least one party visits Guam for a minimum
of 7 days. All preparations can normally be handled via telephone, fax
or e-mail. If all documents are available and in-order, a divorce obtained in about 2 weeks for a total cost of
$1,200.
