Hey guys!

I am an Australian and moved here in 2006 to be with my husband. Well, it turns out that I am the one supporting him as he can not hold a job, and he also suffers from addiction to prescription medication.

I was wondering how I go about leaving the US? Can I just leave or is there a procedure that I have to go through? I really want to go home :(

Thanks,

Kell

This is my personal view. I also have to return to India and we have mutually discussed & agreed on this as I dnt feel good here in usa in regards to human interaction & society. Anyways once I leave she will file for a dissolument/divorce based on abandonement. Its cheap and quick. If your spouse agree on that, it can be done. BUt it can never be done, unless & until you dnt leave usa. Thanks.

You are placing a great deal of trust that your wife will get a dissolution/divorce once you are gone. What if she fails to get a d/d because she doesn't have the money or some other fantastic excuse?

Also, the original poster states her husband is lazy and she has been supporting him. There is no way he is going to do anything. He will ruin her financial record.

A judgment from an American court is extremely hard to enforce in India as the Indian courts can take decades to decide anything. That is not true for Australia.

Yes Aaron i understand that her husband is lazy. In my case its different we still love each other a lot & we are doing this in consent with each other. due to our age difference we are facing several troubles now & in the future. So yes I have confidence in her. we are taking care of everything regarding money and everything before i leave , so those wont be any problem. This may not be true if couple has hostile relations between each other.

The one time I marry and got a divorce I went down myself and got the papers and filed them myself. If was mutually agreed and she signed too so it was quick and painless. Even was able to go to the judge beforehand and he granted it in his chambers. If there is no kids and he will sign then go down and do it yourself. There will be a court fee and the papers cost me a little as I got them at a legal stationary store across the street from the courthouse but very little money overall. It is like what most do here and do it ourselves. While the divorce petition is going forward then start packing and closing up this chapter in your life and move on to the next chapter right when the judgement comes down.
