I am finding out that me wife has been living a secret life while I was trying to do everything that I could to support us. She had complained that there was not enough money, but I had no idea that she was planning to leave me. She said she needed some time to sort things out, to be alone and then she vanished for two weeks. When she got back she said our marriage was over and that she had gone to Hawaii.

Default Foreign wife trying to blackmail me/divorce

I need to know what I am up against with a divorce. We were only married for two years, she owns nothing and is going to school with loans. I owned everything that I have before the marriage including some savings and a 1/6 limited partnership on a home. She is from Russia, came here on a K-1 visa, married in California. I did everything to get her here, taught her how to drive, showed her the ways of the country, loved and trusted her, set her up to be here and helped her to get into a very good graduate school.

You may want to file for divorce and make sure in the case that all of her past activity is investigated and that she is deposed under oath.

She has some right to assets you two accumulatd while married but if the judge views her as having acted in bad faith, it will not help her and indeed you could end up having her owe you. Keep any and all records, info etc. that will help support your view of this.

Default Foreign wife trying to blackmail me

I am finding out that me wife has been living a secret life while I was trying to do everything that I could to support us. She had complained that there was not enough money, but I had no idea that she was planning to leave me. She said she needed some time to sort things out, to be alone and then she vanished for two weeks. When she got back she said our marriage was over and that she had gone to Hawaii. She said she went alone, but I don’t know where she got the money for the trip. This happened 3 months before our second stage for her permanent green card. Now she is saying that if I don’t pretend that we are still in a good marriage and file all the documents, that she will take me for everything.

I need to know what I am up against with a divorce. We were only married for two years, she owns nothing and is going to school with loans. I owned everything that I have before the marriage including some savings and a 1/6 limited partnership on a home.

She is from Russia, came here on a K-1 visa, married in California. I did everything to get her here, taught her how to drive, showed her the ways of the country, loved and trusted her, set her up to be here and helped her to get into a very good graduate school.

Now she is moving on in her life without me and threatening me if I don’t do more for her.

She is only eligible for half of assets you accumulated during marriage but if you can show or prove bad faith she may get little if anything.

Save all records and documents that prove your point.
