#DivorceHelp #Heartbreak #MovingOn #LoveLost #NewBeginnings
My world is turned upside down. We were together for seven years and share a dog 🐶. Within a month of getting his citizenship I found out he was in a relationship with someone else and was already planning their future together. 💔
## Recognizing the Signs 🚩
Looking back at the seven years I saw the red flags, but I was in love with him that I didn’t want to believe it. Within a month of us applying for his green card he said that he didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, but after living together for 6 years since then I thought we would just work it out and stay married. I see now that if I had more confidence in myself and wasn’t desperate for love I should’ve just left when he said he didn’t want to be in a relationship. I really wanted to make things work I even suggested going to couples therapy, but he didn’t even want to do that. I feel used and looking back at our time spent together his ultimate goal was just to use me for his citizenship. He knew I always wanted kids, but not only refused to give me a child, but wasted the opportunity for me to have a child while I was younger and healthier. 🤥
## Legal Options 💼
We live in Nevada and you can get divorced without any spousal support or need any reason to divorce. But he left me in a difficult situation. He took care of me financially and canceled all the credit cards he has in my name. Everything happened so fast that I don’t know what to do. 😞

Get a lawyer and get divorced.
1. Get a lawyer who is familiar with immigration laws & divorce.
2. File for divorce.
3. Potentially file a complaint for visa fraud.
You need to contact an attorney who specializes in marriage fraud. Marriage fraud refers to a situation in which one person enters into a fake or fraudulent marriage specifically with the intent to deceive immigration officials. You believed the marriage was 100% real, but based on his actions and his timing, he did not.
In terms of legal consequences for a marriage immigration violation, the violation is classified as a felony crime. Various punishments include, but may not be limited to:
* Deportation
* Loss of current immigration status
* A lifetime ban on obtaining United States citizenship
* Fines and/or prison sentencing for the citizen involved in the sham marriage
* The marriage may be annulled.

Reach out to an immigration attorney
So you went into this knowing it was a green card marriage? He specifically told you he didn’t want a relationship, you fell in love with him, and now want to punish him for it. You could go to a fraud lawyer, but if it comes to light that you knew from the beginning that it wasn’t a real marriage, you’d get into trouble as well. But trying to get him deported would just make you extremely petty and vindictive. Just give him the divorce.
Sorry this happened to you. He probably owes you alimony. Good luck.
I am sorry this happened to you. I know it hurts.
Unfortunately, it is hard to prove fraud just based on timing.
I would recommend cut your losses. Get a divorce attorney ASAP.
Also look into getting counseling. Create a support network around you and lean on them.
It hurts but you will get over this. Best of luck.
