Filing bankruptcy when divorced in somewhere other than Oklahoma

Client has contacted me regarding the filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. He was married in Oklahoma City. He and his wife divorced in the Dominican Republic. He has a Dominican “certificate of divorce.” He was referred to me by another attorney who thought he was still married in the US and thus could do a joint case. He and his wife live apart, are both in Oklahoma and are on good terms. They want to save a house from foreclosure. Both need a bankruptcy filed here in OKC and finances are tight, thus the their inquiry regarding a joint bankruptcy case.
