Rockledge, GA Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

I am going to assume you are divorced from husband number one now. What to do next depends on how long you have been "married" to number two. To protect your options, please see a domestic relations attorney at once. Likely there is another wedding in your future, as well as a post nuptial agreement and a prenuptial agreement.

A foreign national spouse can succeed in an Application to Remove Conditions notwithstanding her divorce from her U.S. citizen husband. The process includes filing a Form I-751 petition with a request to waive the usual requirement that both spouses file together, and to succeed one must produce a particularly strong set of documentary evidence that the couple lived together in a bona fide marriage notwithstanding that it ended in divorce. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney without delay, since that attorney, after learning all of the relevant information, would be able to advise you about the types of documentary evidence to obtain now, before getting such documents becomes more difficult. It also would be wise to consult with a local domestic relations/divorce attorney who could advise you about your and your husband's rights and obligations in the event of a divorce, including advice about receiving an equitable division of marital property and receiving temporary alimony. That attorney could represent you in the divorce process in order to achieve the best possible outcome. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

See an attorney, however, if you know you are not legally married you should not swear, under penalty of perjury that you are married by signing your tax return.
