Justin,

You can find a local lawyer by looking online or checking a phone directory for your area. You need to know what your rights and responsibilities are in this situation.

Hey, I'm a male 24 in Eastern South Africa. I have a wife who is threatening to take my kids and all my belongings if I divorce her. I need a lawyer urgently.

Vish,

If you have been granted your Green Card, getting a divorce will not change your immigration status. For information about residency requirements in all states, please visit this link:

If you have lived in NJ for at least a year and you and your spouse have been separated for six months, you can file for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.

I got married to a US Citizen girl. I got my permanent resident card after 2 years of marriage. Our total marriage duration is about 2 and half years for now. I am not getting along well with her since few months. It seems she is dating someone and i am also not feeling good being with her. So we are thinking of filing a divorce. Will my permanent resident card be affected if we both file for a divorce and show it as irretrievable breakdown. She believes i am a good guy, but somehow our marriage life is not working properly. We are friends but not on the same page since few months.

I would also like to know that if i have to file a divorce from ANY state in USA, Do i have to stay in that state or i can file divorce from any other state? I am in New jersey and the divorce rules says we need separation for like more than a year and then divorce might get finalised. So i would like to know EVEN if i am in New Jersey, what are my chances to file a divorce in other states. What are the residency requirements to file for a divorce in other US states?

PS: I have already gone through the conditional and permanent Green card interviews and got the Final Green card.

Felicia,

If you want to file for divorce, you would do so in the jurisdiction where you are currently living.

Mary,

Please contact an attorney who can help you file for divorce. If you have concerns for your safety, bring them up with the lawyer to see if you have grounds to get a restraining order against your husband.

Markeeta,

I would contact the Court Clerk's Office where you originally filed for divorce and ask them to pull your file and find out exactly why you need a lawyer to get your divorce finalized. Once you have an answer, you can make an informed decision about whether to find a lawyer in MS to represent you or withdraw the previous divorce petition and start again in the state where you are living now.

I would like to know? I filed papers through MS where we lived, in which i typed them myself. I turned them in signed and paid the money and the judge told me that I have to have a lawyer before she signed those papers. Now I live in Huntsville, Al and he lives somewhere in TX and I can not reach him. What do I do???????? I just want to be free....

Kaseem, if you and your wife are able to come to an agreement on property division and support issues (if appropriate), it should speed up the process. You don't say where you live but it may be possible to get a divorce and settle the outstanding issues at a later time. Contact an attorney to find out if this option is available to you.
