What does a divorce decree contain?

[Europeanboy 0]

I have been married for over one year but my marriage didn't go well because of my wife irresponsibility and disrespect. While I was working day and night she was cheating on me and the result - child that is not mine the biggest shock for me 10 months after we got married. We did DNA and the kid is not mine. I left her 5 months ago we didn't file our taxes together this year because we both didn't want. We did it last year and that's it. I am so stressed my green card expires in april 2010 and I want to divorce before it is time to file I751 it is not my fault I didn't wanna file my taxes with her cause anyway we don't live together anymore. I wanna show that this child is the reason for my divorce -the full truth and even if I had filed jointly with her it will look fake after our separation caused by this child. I have never seen a divorce decree and I don't know if it's gonna say who has the fault for that divorce. She is 100% guilty. I want to prove that I had no fault for the dissolution of this marriage before USCIS and the biggest evidence is this child. Got a beautiful but stupid wife....

The most important thing to remove conditions is to show you married with good faith. Why you divorced isn't that big of a issue.

I'm sorry to hear that your marriage didn't work out. I agree with Haole, as long as you can show that you've entered the marraige with good faith, you shouldn't have any problems. I think that if you can also show them why you're divorced would help a little bit, won't be much though. FYI, if your divorce is officially done before your 90 days window open, you do not need to wait for that, you can file right away. Wish you a smooth journey!

It depends on your county/state where you are going to divorce.

Divorce rules varies from state to state, some required a separation period, etc.

Most of the time there is a list of "grounds for divorce" like infidelity, irreconcilable diff, etc. and you must select one or the one that will apply to you. If you want to use the ground of cheating or infidelity in the marriage, then you will have to demostrate so, (you have that she had a child from another person after marriage)but a divorce lawyer would guide you best. Your wife does not need to agree with your desire of divorce even if she had a child that is not yours. In that case, the divorce go through court process.

In my case, in Georgia in the county that I filed we have to agreed on the "financial agreement" if not, I would have to go through a lenght process in court that most of the time sent the couple to dispute their arguments or use arbitration. Fortunately, after so much fight and back and forths he agreed (I conceded a lot just for the sake to be free and done with it) and he signed the papers. I only had to go to court to filed it and in 31 days I got my audience in front of a judge and I had my divorce decree.

Divorce papers include several things and depends on the state. Can be from the declaration of divorce, knowledge of divorce (the defendant have to knowledge that you want a divorce - that can take more if you have to send it to the person by the sheriff and all that), financial or divorce agreement, custody issues if you both have children, etc etc. You can get a consultation from a divorce lawyer about the process in your area and then you can continue or start doing some research about the divorce law in your state.

A divorce decree is the paper that the judge signed and give to you on the date of your audience, that the State grants you the divorce, in the case of name change it should/could included in it. Normally states that the this person is granted the divorce from this person, and that both parties agreed of this and that...etc etc. signed by the judge and the court clerk, seal and stamp from the court.

Hope things go well with you.

Do you have a copy of the DNA report that shows the child is not yours? I would think that could help prove that you didn't leave the marriage without cause, which (at least in my mind) would make it more believable that you "entered into the marriage in good faith". Either way, I can't imagine having that document would hurt your case.
