Mark,

If you don't have an income, I would suggest that you contact Legal Aid to apply for assistance through them. A community legal clinic run by the local law school is another option. The Bar Association for your state may be able to point you in the right direction.

my wife of 30 years is divorcing me for the second time, she has a disablity check of $8000 a month tax free, I have been told that I am not entitled to any of this money, however I have an apt I have been renting since 1971,I am the only tenant on the lease, and 10 years ago my wife tried divorcing me and went after the apt, after our second appearence in Surpreme Court the judge ruled that the apt was mine and predated our marriage, my wife moved out but we got back together, she then returned to the apt and is now saying that she is entilted to the apt in a future divorce which is evident in her voice, she says that was then and this is now? I told her that if one Judge ruled in my favor why would she think that she has rights 10 years after the ruling, her lawyer is filling her head with lies, from what I have read this apt would predate the marriage and I would be entitled to it, am I wrong?? I am also without legal counsel as I have no real income, I work at a flea market on weekends, please advise me thanks

Lynette,

This may be a situation where she wants to be able to say that she divorced your son; it could be a matter of pride for her. Since your son is being represented by a lawyer, then any communication with your daughter-in-law should be done through the attorney. He should not be talking to her directly at all. I haven't been able to find any information indicating that her immigration status will be afffected by whether or not she filed for divorce. Her immigration status is a separate matter from the divorce.

Please encourage your son to listen to his lawyer's advice and follow it. That is why he retained a lawyer in the first place - to get expert legal advice.

My son married a girl from England in May of 2006. She has been over here on a work visa for several years. He brought her here in 2006 on a fiance visa. The marriage is not good. He filed for divorce in Dec. 2007. All she needed to do was sign the paper and it would be over - no assets, kids, property, shared bank account, etc. She refused and left for England to see family over Christmas. Now she has filed for divorce - this doesn't make sense to him or his lawyer, when our son had already done that. If she wants the divorce - why would she file? Does this have something with her immigration? She was physically abusive to my son and her father has threatened to kill him to others. I am just worried that she has something up her sleve and I don't want him to be used in another way. He is ready to sign whatever he needs to get this marriage dissolved and I don't want him to do it, if it isn't in his best interests. Can you shed some light on this for me, so I can understand? I really appreciate it. Thanks
