No Fault Divorce

[Nahathai_Ike 0]

I have another friend whose conditional status will be ended soon.

Her USC husband filed the divorce due to inreconcilable differences. (Look like the 2-year GC holder is abandoning him.) Apparently, the GC holder is OK with it. She said that, as long as she gets the divorce decree, she will be pursuing the separate I-751 filing.

The GC holder told me that, she could save a lot of money hiring an attorney because her soon-to-be ex husband filed the decree for her to move out separate way.

She said that she had enough evidences that the marriage was real. For example, wedding photos, receptions, pictures with her ex, etc.

She said that the immigration lawyer needs only her divorce decree to pursue the I-751. However, I argued that the divorce decree might fill with something that indicated her faults....

I am very curious, especially when she said that, it was no need to hire the divorce lawyer. When the paper came back to her, she needs only sign and that's it. (I realize that the legal wordings are very confusing and difficult to interpret.)

If the decree said something that she was neglecting to perform the duties as a wife, how could the USCIS grant her the 10-year GC? Or, the lawyer did not care, as long as they had a divorce decree, regardless whose faults will be in the divorce....????

By the way, what is the different between "Void of Marriage" and "Dissolution of Marriage"? Her USC husband tended to file the one called, "Void of Marriage". (I am thinking like an annulment.)

Thanks all for comments or replies.

Ike, post this question here:

That's kinda the "divorce" forum

OP:

Do not mix family law and immigration, they are not the same, have to be handled differently by 2 different experts. Regarding the type of divorce and their terminology consult an expert at family law.

Good luck
