britdivorce

Thank you all for your answers, this is really helpful. Does anyone know what the laws in NY would be regarding this? I cant see another way out here. We were not married in NY if that makes any difference....

He wants to give me the house, and we have no children, so there would be nothing to divide. Does that make things easier?

He wants to wait and file together, and try to fix things. I just dont know if I can.

Thanks for the advice. So what should I do here? I cannot divorce him in NY in time to file my removal of conditions.

Seems unfair that some states allow quick divorces and some do not. I am not trying to cheat any system, just to get divorced. I guess Ill call a lawyer tomorrow.

Hi,

Im new here, never thought I would actually have to post, but here goes.

For very complicated reasons my marriage needs to end. I need to file to remove my conditions in May 09 but as we live in NY we cannot get a divorce in that time. Looking online I have found that if we go to Guam we can divorce in one week. Is there a catch to this? Is it that easy? Go to Guam, get divorce, and then file to remove conditions alone?

Also, realistically, what are my chances of removing my conditions alone? We have a very genuine marriage, joint accounts, health and life insurance, a joint mortgage on a house we bought, many trips, photos and letters from his family and mine, plue friends. Also, he is begging me not to do this, and would be 100% behind my filing, and would do anything so I dont have to leave the US, and would come to interviews etc, and tell them it was 100% genuine. We also have utiliy bills, rent contracts from old apartment, joint credit cards etc, I have a lot of proof of living together.

He is begging me to give him another chance, but I dont believe him, and cannot stay in the marriage now. Do you think I have a good shot to file alone? If it makes any difference, I am from the UK, make a good salary, and have been here in the US for many years, (it really feels like home now) as I had employment based visas that I gave up ( I guess stupidly) when I filed the marriage greencard.

I am in shock that he did this, the idea of being deported would be too much to take. I wish I could believe nothing happened, but I just cant.

Any advice, on the Guam idea, my chances, or anything else would be very much appreicated.

Thanks
