What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? fl
FL
I am doing research for my father-in-law. He married a woman 5 years ago, (who is nearly 1/2 his age, if not younger), who had a "student visa"- i think it's called. Anyway, it has always been very obvious that she married to get full citizenship. Friday she got her US paperwork and is about to file for divorce. She has pawned him into so much debt, its unbelievable if I started putting numbers. She had her 19 year old son move from his country to the US, move in, and now spread horrible and awfuul allegations about my father in law. Unfortunately, my father in law is aware of everything, and it's extremely sad because all he can say is "I would rather be miserable with someone than miserably alone". He is a 68 year old alcoholic. She is crazy, we have police reports of her pulling knives on him. My question is: Since she is filing for a divorce not even a week after getting her permanent paperwork, won't judges see that as a "pretend" marriage. Knowing he is 68, and she is only 34? She has tried to get him to put her name on the house, but thank god he hasn't. When they get divorced, will they have to split anything/everything? Because he doesn't have a lot, basically only his house. Any and all responses are appreciated
