Divorce process for H4 dependent,

H1-Holder

New Member
Hi,

I brought my wife on H4 visa status and she stayed with me for only 4 months. After which she is staying with her relatives. Her total stay in US is near to a year. Her H4 visa was valid for only 7 months after I brought her to US of which 3 months she didn't stay with me as I mentioned earlier. I haven't renewed her H4 visa at the time of renewal as I didn't want to be in relation with her. Her H1B was in process and I guess she is in US on her H1B visa.

I want to know that if I file the divorce from the state of Texas, how much compensation that I may have to bear? Will it be only for 4 months, 7 months or more?

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
If she is on H1 and is employed , she can support herself ..If her salary is almost same as yours ..nothing will happen ..


You can file for divorce and most likely you dont have to pay maintenance etc..

If she is still on H4 , she can ask for maintenance but she will have to leave the country as she is no longer ur dependent..

I got divorced with my spouse on H1..no issues

consult an immigration and family lawyer anyway
