My husbands family forced him to divorce me, PLEASE I NEED ADVISE

[GOLDEN.247 0]

I know a couple from Ghana, they were both from Ghana who were forced to divorce by the Elders. THey were devestated as they really loved each other. The problem is, if your husband is so deeply entwined in his culture and will follow their advice, in my opinion it does not bode well for a good relationship here in America. Also, I don't think she got scammed, otherwise he would have gotten the divorce after he got the visa, this is definitely a cultural thing. And may not be one that you can overcome.

Again you would think that over the past 3 1/2 years something would have been mentioned at least one time????

He's a big man, I would say talk to him to find out WHY HE SIGNS it, it has HIS signature on it, As a full grown adult, nobody can force you to sign any paperwork, I can understand all this headache before you are married, but not After both of you are husband and wife. Something sounds really FISHY with his story, all i would say is BE CAREFUL.

I've read and re-read this thread. I don't care what the cultural background may be, he knew going into the marriage what his parents thought. He needed to buck up and tell his parents to back off, he's a grown man. Sounds like another cultural copeout to me

How do you force a grown adult, capable of making his own decisions to get a divorce???

Do you put a gun to his head and drag him to the court house against his will to seek a divorce??

I think he made his own decision.

Shotgun divorce?

I'm sure this is a very difficult and upsetting situation..

Ignore all the judgments and comments and sort this out with him.

Have a heart-to-heart and decide what you both want and what is best for you.

I was under the impression that appealing a court's decision to terminate a marriage is usually related to a claimant's dissatisfaction with the terms of settlement that the court mandated and does not reverse or address the legal foundation of the marriage itself. Nonethless, it is worth a phone call. The problem, as I see it, is that the divorce was granted overseas, and to find out how, or even if it is possible, might take some knowledge of law and sifting through red tape.

Seems as though he already has.
