Are you an immigrant (with or without a legal status) who is considering divorce? Divorce is hard enough without the added worry of how your legal status will impact you. Especially when children are involved. Our office has people ask us questions all the time about this area of law. Because we want to help our clients we spoke with family law attorney, Brian Winters, and asked him all the questions we get asked.

In this video Brian shares how the corona virus has reduced costs and sped up processing times for divorce.

He gives a tip for those whose partner is paid under the table or lies about their income to try to pay less child support or alimony.

He reassures us that your legal status is not used against you in divorce court except in one particular instance.

The biggest thing that Mr. Winters wants you to know is that as an immigrant you do not need to stay in a violent relationship. There is assistance and help for you, even through the police.
