What is the name of your state? New Jersey.
Hi, I'm really in a fix and I'd appreciate any advice,
I came to the US from the UK October 2006 on a k1 fiance visa to marry my wife with whom I had been in a long distance relationship for a couple of years.
We married in January in Vegas. I'm not going into details and I'm not looking for any moral judgement, there has been violence, verbal abuse and destruction of property on both sides but overwhelmingly with my wife against me with a ratio of about 9/1.
I have left three times and have called the police 8 times, each time she cries domestic abuse and the last time i was actually taken to the police station, the police said they could see what was going on and persuaded the prosecutor not to press charges.
I left last Monday, it was the two week anniversary of us moving into out new house, the house was in both our names but I paid for it with money i made selling my home in London. I dropped 565,000 on this house, there is a rental apartment that covers the mortgage and taxes.
I am now out of my home which my wife is occupying, I am living out of bag and have about $2000 left to my name. There is no court order of any kind. My wife is six months pregnant, she came off of anti-depressant medication because of this which had only just been doubled. The last time I left she begged me to come back which i agreed to if she sought help, she went to anger management sessions maybe 3 times. We also, at my insistence, went to couples counseling. The counselor ended up not having us back due to my wife's behaviour (I think she has a behavioural disorder but I don't think that is relevant here).
I'm rambling a bit so I will summarize. I am homeless and almost destitute in a foreign country. My wife is occupying the house I bought and threatening to destroy my property, I have no way of checking whether she is. I have little money and am not yet authorized to work.
Is there anything i can do about this?
Can I take possession of our house?
I don't want to divorce her but is there any sort of initial step I can take towards to divorce that might spur her into calming down and getting help?
Thanks in advance,
Bolloxed.
