Dear Sir/madam
Iam a conditional resident After marrying to my wife in July 2003,Got
Conditional green card in Sep 2004,Iam supposed to File for I 751 in
2006.We are living together in same aprtment till now,except for 5
months in between when my wife had a bay at her moms place. my wife left
the baby at her moms place .My wife is having severe depression with
her eating disorder ,she feels guilty for everyting and she threatens to
kill her.
My wife some times want divorce and some times ask me not to leave
her.But I dont want to give divorce and be blamed for failure of
marriage.But In the end my wife may not sign I 751 and try to get me deported
to my own country and keep the baby with her parents.So Iam In dilemma
whether to apply for divorce on my own or just wait till end.
My questions to you Are
1.How are my chances if i apply for divorce to have a green
card,Because I dont want to take any risk and get deported.
2.We live in Toledo ohio.I Have little income I support family.my wife
goes to school,initially her parents helped me.We have a lease
agreemnet for our apartment for more than 2 yrs
We have bank account and credit card.our Joit utility bills,car
insurance,AAA card,Sams club card everthing come to our address on her
name.but usually I pay the bill.I can show proof for good faith marriage. How
much wll be my attorney fees in cases like mine.
3. my divorce case will be hard one as my in laws ae rich they try
every possible way to give trouble and get me deported.The may say I abused
my wife and spoil my case,on the other hand my wife tortured me
mentally.she kept the baby with her parents.whenever she is mad she says iam
not fit for america,i dont talk much .She says I should leave
America.She spends all my money and she cries almost everyday.She feels
depressed and with her medical problems and put blame on me,She had bypass
surgey for her eating disorder before marriage .She did nt tell me about it
till marriage. She threatens me to divorce,I say everytime if she is sure
that she will be happy after divorce,then she can,but then she will
start crying again..I just want them to be happy if they want they can
keep the child but just let me to see when I would like to .If i apply
for divorce now,But what is the option for me at the time of i 751 if my
divorce is not yet finalised.
4.Do I need a laywer for my case.The problem is I cannot afford much
now
5.can I apply for hardship waiver,if my wife refuses to sign at the
time of removal of condition
6.if i get divorce do ineed to pay alimony and child support both .What should I do if i want to redue total burden on me.My wifes parents are rich and my wife has some money although she wont earn any paychecks,does it s go to reduce alimony for her and add some money for child support on her part too.
&.How much money i will end up in paying cases like money.
7.some ofmy friens say that to be stayed in marriage and do what ever she says for next 6 months and then divorce her.But that looks oppourtunistic to me.I just dont know what to do.any input is greatly appreciated.
 
You need to contact a marriage/relationship counsellor and not a lawyer. Work out your differences first and see if you can save your marriage. If it still doesnt work out, only then you would need help from your lawyer.

You can talk to few lawyers and see who you feel comfortable with and who you think can help with your case. Look for pro bono lawyers in your area. They provide 20 mins of free consultation. This way you can get an idea of where you stand.
