Us citizen married to someone from country of Laos now has the power to fight for half of everything that he have. He married his long term girlfriend as his wife in her hometown of Laos and also legally in the US. He filed petition for her to emmigrate to the US to joined with him. She has only lived in the US for 19 Months and during the 19 Months that she has been in the US, she has filed complaints of DV, Battery, Divorce. The guys is 52 and the girl is 21. They both lived together, since she had barriers with driving, reading & writing english, he works and supports her while she attend ESL classes. After 10 months of living together, everything went downhill. Now she's entitled to half of everything that he's owned before they was married. How can this bee? He has spent thousands for filings and all necassery's for her to emmigrate to the US to join with him. He didn't battered her. She made everything up so that she can get away from him. Meaning she used him to emmigrate to the US. The restraining order she filed, she has been denied for approval. The charges that she had against him was also drop/dismissed. So in both cases he's already won. Why? in the divorce case they would split everything in half. I would think that she is not entitled to any half of what so ever that belongs to him. Thank you for all suggestions, you guys/girls.

He shouldn't have assaulted her in the first place, now he has to face the consequences for his actions...

He was taken as a fool. No 21year old is going to be interested in a 52 year old if they're honest anyway. He should have had a pre-nup but she may not be able to take half of his assets, I'd suggest he get a damn good lawyer. And I hope he kept detailed records of this relationship and how much he spent.

She is entitled to half of the assets of the martial community. Some states exempt items owned before the marriage, others do not. Where she is from is immaterial to the case. The fact that he supported her during the marriage (a requirement for him to sponsor her for immigration) is immaterial to the case. The fact that she reported and the police investigated domestic violence is very material to the case. Never marry someone you don't want to give half of your stuff to. He needs to get a good lawyer.

Well, he shouldn't have assaulted her. That's all there is to it. What he spent to get her here isn't the issue. The issue is that he battered her and now she wants a divorce. She is at least entitled to spousal support. (alimony)

They say there is no fool like an old fool. He will pay dearly for his midlife crisis - should have bought a sports car instead.
