Pretty difficult to lose your citizenship. Never say never and all that, but I'm going to say "No" to your question. > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > citizenship due to my divorce on grounds that she is says i used her > to gain it. She can contest the divorce, but you will certainly not lose your citizenship just because she makes it a divorce issue. Ian > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > citizenship due to my divorce on grounds that she is says i used her > to gain it. Hi: Family law is a matter of state law, not Federal law. It sounds like she is counter-claiming for an anullment ["nullity" in CA]. As a general rule, it is hard to prove. The lead California case [Marriage of Rabie] from the 70's had a pretty compelling set of facts -- it seems that Manoucher Rabie dumped his girlfriend for not marrying him [slight technicality of estranged husband, but I digress] in order to marry someone else. Gets green card and dumps wife to go back to girlfriend. A little too much pillow talk takes place. Manoucher then made a very BIG mistake -- he dumped the girl friend again -- and she was star witness at the nullity hearing. Go see a family law lawyers. Check with a family lawyer.

But then perhaps that was your intent anyway. Many others here have a spouse who works in another state and they remain married and visit on long weekends, holidays, etc. SignatureI'm not an attorney.

While I'm no angel, there are some of our regulars who go out of their way to be caustic, sarcastic and argumentative when a situation is outlined and a assistance is asked for by a newbie. Just because you feel that a situation clearly shouts 'intent' does not make it so. Draw a newbie out with questions rather than going for the jugular on the first post. Allow the newbie to answer questions without having to feel judged and found wanting. Remember you were once them. It might have been last year or ten years ago, but you were just as ignorant as they were and someone else held your hand and helped you to understand the system. Be polite and courteous. It doesn't hurt and it actually helps those needing a friend with a bit more experience than they have. WOW, that did not last long. Reg.

Much appreciated. Still think it is a crappy reason for a divorce. SignatureI'm not an attorney. This disclaimer is valid in NYS! > That's scaring him away? Don't think so.

Well first she does not wanna move where i have a job and can support her 2nd she had this tendancy for spending a dollar when our earning is 50 cents. she had extremly bad credit mine has gone a little bad.we always have fights over finances. > Well first she does not wanna move where i have a job and can support > her 2nd she had this tendancy for spending a dollar when our earning > is 50 cents. she had extremly bad credit mine has gone a little bad.we > always have fights over finances. Have you tried to go to financial counseling as well as marriage counseling? Financial stress will kill a marriage quicker than anything. even an affair. Is your wife well established in her job? If so, maybe that's one reason why she doesn't want to move, and I can understand that. I have 17 years experience where I am employed and was/am reluctant to transfer because it would make me low (wo)man on the totem pole. It was something DH and I discussed a bit before we got married but it still ended up being a problem when the jobs he was qualified for were mostly all 2-3 hour at best commutes from where we lived. We were lucky that one came up locally. I know it comes across as selfish, esp. considering that he left his family, friends and country to move here, but we are working through it as best we can. I hope you are able to do the same. > Well first she does not wanna move where i have a job and can support > her 2nd she had this tendancy for spending a dollar when our earning > is 50 cents. she had extremly bad credit mine has gone a little bad.we > always have fights over finances. I'm withpsycho on this, get yourselves to a marriage counselor. Neither of those reasons seem, at least to me, to warrant a divorce. We've not heard from her and I'm sure she will chime in with your faults and at the moment her vindicativeness appears, on the surface, to be one that someone who is being dumped while they still love the other person says to strike back. You married her and knew of her tendency to buy and spend above her income level and that didn't stop the marriage from taking place. I urge you not to throw in the towel so quickly on a marriage unless, of course, it is a marriage that you don't want and perhaps never did. SignatureI'm not an attorney.
