joint vs divorce

[paustin 1]

Just curiousity, is it safer to remove conditions as "joint" or "divorce"? Which one is safer considering marriage was legitimate.

Build a solid case by providing evidence that the marriage was entered into in good faith, in that case ROC

should be approved.

Start gathering copies of documents now if you know your marriage is headed for family court.

Bank statements, mortgage/lease, health, life, auto insurance, etc.,

The answer to this question probably depends a great deal upon the state of your relationship with your spouse. Obviously the marriage is breaking up, but are you parting on amicable terms or is it contentious? Consider that if you file for ROC jointly, your spouse would need to sign the application with you and appear with you at any potential interview (not everyone gets interviewed for ROC, but it can and does happen). Is this something your spouse would agree to do? If you have doubts about the cooperation on a joint filing, you probably need to get the divorce under way so you can file under the waiver provisions.

In addition, Leatherneck's advice above is good. Start gathering your evidence now.

whatever one involves not lying. If your marriage is failing and you're considering divorce then file for divorce and ROC with a waiver.

If your relationship is still loving and healthy then joint.

Neither way is more or less risky if the marriage is/was legitimate and you have proof of such.
