Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Divorcing an illegal alien
I have been married to a woman
from Peru for the past 4 months.
When I married her her visa had
expired and we are now in the
process of getting her greencard and
validating the marriage, however, in
the past few months I have found
that she may have only married me
to stay in the country. If I get a
divorce I fear it will look like I tried to
help defraud the government. Can I
obtain a divorce without getting in
''trouble''? Will she get deported if we
get a divorce before she gets her
green card?

"she may have married me to stay in the country". You think!? I can't believe the idea is now just crossing your mind. If you really never thought of that, you will be fine with the INS. Just be honest, and you should have an attorney. But since I am an attorney, I know that comes across as biased.
