    Angry Changing from an Uncontested Divorce to a Contested Divorce

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: 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 -- past summer. He is barred from US and I need a divorce, yet I am in process of foreclosure of home and other monstrous events, of which he was financially the cause. 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)

    I am taking a turn in my mind today from an uncontested divorce to a contested one. Not only has he left my financially obligated to point of nearing homelessness, I am physically sick from him since 2008. Can I sue him for alimony? He may have alot more than he has let on anyway and I need answers
    about how he can pay for what he has done [to me].


    I assume I should apply in state of legal residence, but if I don't have an address for him in France . . . I get in touch with him thru his brother's FB and what if I try to do this by myself, alone, to save on lawyer costs? Thanks in advance.

    His deportation cancelled your sponsorship obligation.

    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)
    A contested divorce won't protect you from that. It would be a difficult and expensive thing for him to do as well.

    You cannot really get a true uncontested divorce anyway since you don't even know his address. You really do need an attorney if at all possible.

    Go with an attorney. My ex wanted a "do it ourselves" divorce, but I had no trust in him. I don't see where you could trust this person......

    I was given following advice, when I wanted an uncontested, with spouse un-addressable:
    It appears you will need to file service by publication.
    http://travel.state.gov/law/judicial/judicial_680.html

    SERVICE BY PUBLICATION: Service by publication may also be a viable option, however, this may not be a valid method of service under the laws of the foreign country. If eventual enforcement of a U.S. judgment in a foreign country is foreseen, it may be prudent to consult local foreign counsel or American foreign legal consultants abroad before proceeding with such a method of service. See Wright & Miller, Sec. 1062 at 222 (1987); Sec. 1074, note 17 at 461-463 (1987); 1092; 1112; 1117-1118 and 1996 pocket part.
