CAN THE DIVORCE COURT ORDER MY HUSAND TO GET ME U.S. CITIZENSHIP?

QUESTION: My U.S. citizen husband wants to divorce me. Can the court force him to get me U.S. citizenship or some amount of money?

MY RESPONSE:

If the divorce is in California, your husband can divorce you on the grounds of irreconcilable differences: he wants a divorce and you don't.

The Court can't force your husband to give you citizenship.

You may have rights to community property, spousal support, and attorney's fees.

You should at least consult an experienced Family Law Attorney regarding the particulars of your situation, and you would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you in the divorce case.
