Shepherd, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The big question is are you divorced from your first wife. If you were married to your "estranged mate" and never divorced, your present marriage to your 2nd wife is invalid. By bringing your new wife here and petitioning for her, you could be committing immigration fraud and your wife would be deported. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced family law attorney to handle your marital problem and an experienced immigration attorney for your immigration problem for a face-to-face consultation and give them all of the facts surrounding your situation.

Hire attorney to look into this matter if you cannot do so yourself. Generally, any marriage which was performed prior to the time that the divorce is final would be considered null and void. That said, your circumstances may allow you to seek from record some kind of remedy if it is determined that your second marriage was invalid.

Quite likely, but need the details. She would share in the change in the market value during the marriage, which may be negative and cause a problem in getting this settled.
