Question

My wife wants to divorce me, we got married according to Muslim law in which husband has to give her some money specified on marriage certificate in case he wants to divorce her wife and I wrote $50000.00. But we called a pastor from church to register our marriage in USA with no money contracted. My question is: if we divorce then how much money she could collect when we don't have any kids. How much hardships I could face at the end of this marriage that she threatens me a permanent support I will have to pay. A year ago I got green card on the basis of this marriage.

Answer

I suggest you sit down with an attorney and discuss everything. Call me anytime at 732/773/2768 to discuss.

Answer

This is an unusual situation, and I would have to research it. I have never heard of a Muslim marriage contract like this, and I have no idea if the Judge would enforce it. There are a LOT of reasons why it should not be enforced in this country.

But you clearly need some help from a lawyer.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the first office visit.

I know people worry about how expensive a lawyer is, so I am careful to be as inexpensive as I can for my clients. Before you spend a dime, you will know how much this is likely to be.
