Current situation: My foreign spouse's 2-year green card expired in Dec 2022, and I helped her apply for a 10-year green card, it’s now in a pending state. We had a fallout during these 4 months, and I want to get a divorce. Just last week I got a letter from USCIS regarding the green card, and they gave her a temporary extension green card letter of 48 months. With her current situation is she entitled to get a split of my assets when I do the divorce? I don’t have any property only saving money. We do not have any kids. What rights does she have in terms of demanding money from me for the divorce? Can she sue me for doing the divorce? If she doesn’t sign the paperwork to divorce what are my options? Can I do the green card withdrawal or cancel the pending temporary green card? Anyone with experience in immigration/divorce law please help answer these questions. I really appreciate your help. Reason for divorce: Our marriage was entered in good faith, but we have a lot of problems in our relationship. One thing is that my wife doesn't want to pay for anything. I take care of all the bills and living situation. She been in the US for 2.4 years and worked for 1 year and still currently working. I asked her to help pay for the food, but she said no. I'm to a point where I had enough of this bull. That's why I'm divorcing her because she just using me. I know she will fight and not want the divorce, that's why I need you guys to help me answer the above questions. Thanks
