QUESTION: We got married a few months ago, I am not a citizen yet. Can I get a divorce if I am here because of engagement visa?
MY RESPONSE:
If you have complied with California's minimum residency requirements for a divorce (6 months in the state, and 3 months in the county), you can file for a divorce in California.
The fact that you came here on a fiance' visa does not prevent you from getting a divorce.
However, you would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney before filing a divorce case, to determine whether filing a divorce case would jeopardize your immigration status.
