Divorce with 2 year green card

[pinayako11 0]

Hi VisaJourney friends,

I have a friend whose married for almost 1 and half year, and the husband is filing a divorce. She is holding a 2 year greencard.

My questions.

---he respondent, or defendant, generally has 30 days to answer or file a response. A failure to respond within the time allowed means that the party is considered in default and may forfeit his or her rights to contest issues such as child custody or property division. When a respondent fails to file a response, the divorce court assumes he or she is in agreement with the divorce petition and grants the petitioner's requests.---

1. because she is against the divorce, is it necessary to respond to the above statement?

2. Is it true that after the divorce is done, she will get an automatic deportation?

3. If she can stay, what will happened to her if the 2 years GC expired.

4. Can she file the ROC by herself, or does she needs a consent or some kind of signature from the husband?

5. Is anybody know where to find a website or a Pro Bono lawyer?

I hope you could help my friend with all this confusion she is going through.

Thank you so much in advance friends.

She better have a lawyer look over the divorce petition if she plans on not responding.

You cannot prevent your spouse from divorcing you. You can only contest issues related to the divorce, such as property, child custody, support, etc... Not responding won't stop the divorce from happening. Going to court and saying you don't want the divorce to happen, won't stop it either. It does not matter to the court if one party doesn't want to be divorced, all that matters is one person in the marriage does.
