richi,

You and your wife should have a consultation with a family lawyer in your jurisdiction, either together or separately with different lawyers. Recognize that what a lawyer will tell you individually, what they will tell your wife individually, and what they will tell the two of you together will be three somewhat different things. You say that you and your wife want this to be amicable, so you might want to start off making a joint visit and hopefully things can remain amicable.

A county office - I presume you mean the county court clerk's office or similar - will not give you legal advice.

Thank you so much. I'll give the local county office a call and see what they say.

Im actually staying with my wife's family and her right now, I would rather go back and deal with it from there. We have no assets to speak of, it'd be all agreed, do I have to stay in the US do you think? It would be pretty difficult setting up the divorce and living here!

My recommendation for richi to call the county clerk's office was only to enquire of any requirements there may be in place in his area prior to divorcing, not for legal advice, Kemo Sabe. But glad to see you are still on your toes

da mermaid is spot on! if you (think) that you are going to have an amicable divorce with little to no assets involved, i would head to the county court's office that would preside over your divorce and file pro se (one who does not hire a lawyer and appears for himself/herself in court). the cost reduction is enormous and if you can make it 'nicely' through the divorce, it is well worth it. you will also need to check the divorce 'times' with the county court clerk's ofc as well ... sometimes you need to be separated for 'x' length of time before you can file.

you may be able to move back to the UK, have your (ex)wife file and then mail/forward any papers for you to sign etc ... but do call the clerk and ask them all these questions! good luck to you!

Richi, so very sad to see you appear on here again in such sad circumstances, I remember your posts and I just want to say I am so sorry that things have not worked out for you.

Whatever the outcome, I wish you well for your future

richi,

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Aside from what has been mentioned here, you should probably notify the USCIS as well. That way there will be no adverse notations against your name should you wish to visit the USA in the future.

Best of luck whichever direction you choose.

thanks all for your advice and caring comments. yes its bloody tough. im hopeful our lives together can be mended, but at the same time i have to be realistic too. i'll check with the county court on thurs, to find out a little more, because if we part, i have no option really but to return to england. part of life i guess...

30 days ? i'll look into that too. thanks for that info
