    Default Illegal Alien Divorce

    My question involves divorce in the State of: Tennessee

    I will try to make this short. Married to an illegal from mexico, female, in 2002. In 2004 applied immigration papers. 2006 we had a hearing in Jaurez Mexico and since she tried to cross illegally in 1999 and got caught she was hit with a 10 year bar from entering the u.s. It has been 2 years since I have seen my wife while she was in mexico. I told her 6 months ago that no laws would change and I cant continue this for 8 more years. I wanted to move on and get divorced. Move forward 4 weeks ago she has again illegally crossed the border and has appeared on my door step wanting back. I have already filed for divorce for which she is furious and the more i talk to her the more she is mad I wont give her any more money. I think $15,000 in the last 2 years is enough. Anyhow I dont know what to do from here. She will not leave me alone, keeps calling and such. I is refusing to sign the divorce papers unless she gets a whole lot of money. Can I get into trouble is she is caught again by immigration since I know she is here? Can i get divorced without her signing papers? Is she still entitled to half the house since we bought it while married even though she never worked and I supported her? Not sure where to go from here?

    Can i get divorced without her signing papers?
    Yes. Ask your attorney about filing a motion of default divorce.

    If the motion is granted, your wife will be served a notice that you are now divorced, and in many cases, the spouse who refused to sign off on an "agreed" divorce, forcing the default, gets nothing.

    In the vast majority of divorce cases, one of the persons is far more motivated to divorce than the other.

    If you want her out of your hair, call ICE.
