Divorce Response and Delay

[Marieke H 2,498]

This really is not an immigration question; work with your attorney, or find a different attorney you have more confidence in.

 

But... It took you 2 weeks to respond, and now you are upset because your soon to be ex-husband has not responded within a week? Every process takes time; try to be patient.

why are you mad? My husband had the papers for three months! 2 weeks is nothing. I needed money to hire an attorney?!

Just connected this post with your previous one.  Something doesn't add up.  In the other post you said your husband was abusive and hid the fact that he was preparing to send you divorce papers.  From what you have shared so far, he does not seem to be the type that would be willing to sit down with you and a mediator to politely work out the terms of divorce so that it can proceed quickly and for very low cost.  You will need a divorce decree to re-file a new I-751 package with a divorce waiver, or you can hope that the re-scheduling of your I-751 interview based on the previous package will be delayed long enough that you can take the divorce decree to that interview and request a change to a divorce waiver.  If you are seriously considering firing your current attorney (as many have recommended), and would like to explore working with a mediator to facilitate an agreeable, fast, non-contested divorce option with your husband, here are some excellent resources from the State of New York that may be helpful.  Good luck!

I am not mad at all. You literally wrote this:

My husband served me about three weeks ago. I responded a week ago. How long do you think it takes for the other party to respond? Because he hasn't responded to my counter claim yet?

Husband served you 3 weeks ago, you responded 2 weeks later, and now you have been waiting for a week.

About attorneys

 

The attorney wants to bill as many hours as possible.  You and the attorney have completely different goals.

The best use of an attorney is to write up a previously approved settlement and file it.

 

Claims and counterclaims can go on for months or years.  I know this why?  My ex wife and I went to court (34) times and I did it on purpose to financially wipe her out because she was playing games with access to our daughter.  I did it too.  Her, her father, and anyone else that wanted to take a shot at bankrolling her.

You want quick, you settle it all in one meeting, write up the document, file it, move on.  Give in to whatever it takes.

@Angel2023Please print this post and hang it on your door! @iwannaplay54 really knows what he is talking about! I went through a similar situation and I couldn’t agree more.

So what do I do at this point
