How to Divorce a Spouse Who Was Deported
My question involves a marriage in the state of: Georgia, but I live in NYC. He was deported from Miami, FL--to France -- last month. He is barred from US and I need a divorce, yet I am in process of foreclosure of home and other monstrous events. All free legal help agencies have turned me down due to:
1. Complications to uncontestation, such as: my sponsorship of green card forms, which were all denied anyway, but fact that I sponsored became issue
2. His incarceration in FL for 3 felonies, leading to deportation -- subsequent threats to me to illegally re-enter US and get even for mis-percieved reasons for his incarceration and deportation -- directed at me, as reasons for all his bad luck!!! (All untrue and proven so)
3. that's about it. I am glad he can't get back in to US, as he is looming somewhere in Montreal right now and I think he needs an EDTA to come into US, even though he didn't need any visa or EDTA to get from France to Canada
I assume I should apply in state of legal residence, but if I don't have an address for him in France . . . and what if I try to do this by myself, alone, to save on lawyer costs? Thanks in advance.:wallbang:

It appears you will need to file service by publication.

Thanks, Disagreeable. If I don't get to do this divorce before he dies, let's say, will I be entitled to
any of his Social Security benefits in France, as his widow? Just wondering . . .

No. In order to receive them, you must reside in France or French Polynesia.
