What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
My wife is asking for divorce. We have a 6 years old son. I still love her but thats another topic. She could not pinpoint her reason on why, basically she stated we are not compatible and that she blames every little mundane things as my fault and basically can't live with "such an idiot" anymore. From my standpoint she has the tendency to blame everything under the sun to me, and after this many years of putting up with it, I thought fine, go for it. We are not living in the same room anymore, and have not been intimate for pretty much 6 years. She has a history of depression and was on medication at some point, not sure if that can change my outcome in any way. We have been married almost 7 years.
We are both currently non-citizens. We each came from different country, I am currently on work visa and in the process of getting a green card from work. My wife can't work because she is on dependent visa (thats another topic she blames me for).
We don't have much, I have a steady job that pays $50000 / year, not much. We have a mortgage of $80000, a little bit of my 401K (like $8000) and two cars that I own, thats it pretty much. Both of us has lots of credit card debt, I would say each of us have about $12000 debt from before the time I got a steady job (we were graduate students).
As far as I know if we do get divorce she will be out of status and will need to go back to her home country (or get a work visa for herself). This IMO can complicate things because if she has custody then it will be harder for me to visit my son. Well, its not the end of the world but I would prefer if she could stay in the states. Of course if I could have custody then there is no problem with me but I heard its very unlikely for a father to have custody, is that right?
Would you help me describe what would likely happen in my scenario and what are my general options?
Thanks much!
