What issues might we face for a non-citizen divorce?

Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
Has your sister-in-law actually been sued for divorce, or is she looking to start an action for divorce?  She may be able to file for divorce in New York, depending on where she and her spouse are living/incarcerated.    In order to meet the residency requirements for filing a New York divorce, either 1) one of the parties must have been living in New York for 2 years prior to the divorce, OR 2) one of the parties was living in New York for one year immediately before the divorce, AND you got married in New York, OR lived in New York as a married couple for at least one year, OR the grounds for the divorce arose in New York, OR both parties lived in New York state on the date the divorce was filed AND they lived together as a married couple for at least a year before the divorce.  If your sister-in-law has already been sued for divorce and is concerned about the "consequences", much more information is needed. Is she living in the U.S. and concerned she will be deported? Is she living outside the U.S. and afraid she won't be able to return?  Are there children of the marriage and if so, where do they live? "Consequences" is a very broad term. Please provide more information.

Should I take him to court for alimony?

After a marriage of only four years duration it's unlikely you'll be entitled to much in the way of spousal support (alimony).

Separated 6 yrs. Husb lives in house and has been paying on a modification for 5 yrs. Papers received for new terms. I don't want to sign.

This is complicated and depends on many factors. Do you still have equity in the house? Do you earn more money than he does and would you be paying him spousal support in a divorce? Who's been paying the mortgage and taxes since you left? Ideally you should get your name off the deed and loan and if he wants to stay in the house he should find a new co-signer for the modification. But if you have equity you need to be compensated for your share. Much more information is needed in order to answer your questions.
