My wife cheated on me. I need to get divorce, please help

[user828]

No I haven't sponsored her yet

..what are u worried about then, go to India and divorce her - lot of visa and gold diggers in India unfortunately. They shop around for husbands and it's socially acceptable, easy ticket to get PR or green card. I wish these women are taught a hard lesson

She is taking advice from agents and she told me that don't ever think of giving me divorce once I will be in Canada as you will have to pay me for three years. This made me realise that there is someone who is guiding her.

she cant land in canada as a dependent without you signing the sponsorship document. without that, you are not liable for her financially. the laws in india are pretty tough for marriage. you should start consulting lawyers in india if you do wish to go ahead with divorce. just staying quiet in canada will actually make it worse for you in india.

Can't the OP be able to apply for a divorce here in Canada despite the marriage occurred in India?

unfortunately it's not so easy to file a divorce in india if one party isn't willing. the case for alimony can be pretty nasty.

Please know that you are not legally obligated to do anything for her. She might be your wife but she can't force you to submit the application. You are here and she is there, there is nothing she can do. If you have prepared the papers to apply for her PR throw them in the garbage.

If you were married in India, I advise that you get on the phone with an indian lawyer. Keep any proof you have that she only married you to gain entry into Canada. The lawyer will advise if there is a way to annul the marriage or how to start the divorce proceedings. It is very important to keep all proof that she frauded you. Once your lawyer contacts her for divorce she may turn the other leaf again, pretend that she loves you and has no clue of what he is talking about with fraud marriages.

If she is harassing your parents advise them to take matters to the police. Get a restraining order if it becomes unbearable.

If you don't know any lawyer in India, I suggest you seek out the New Delhi thread and ask if anyone knows a reputable lawyer in the area which you are from. I am sure they will gladly help you.

The others are right, you can apply to bring your parents here on a supervisa. you may want to look into that on the CIC website and consider it as an option. Also, she is wrong you dont have any obligation to give her money unless you sponsor her. You have not sponsored her yet so you don't have to worry about this.

nope. can be tricky to file a divorce where the marriage certificate wasn't issued. similarly someone married in canada can't apply for divorce in india.

So people who got married in US or visa versa would have to go back to country of origin to get a divorce? The OP may be get legally divorced in Canada but not recognized in India.

If I were you guess what I would do ? Take out the application that you have filled , ask her to come on Skype and burn them whiles she watch! Lol you are lucky . What you need right now is first get her off your parents backs! Then take time to settle since you are new in Canada , then start working on the divorce as soon as posible .

Getting divorce in India is not easy, law is all against men and in favour of women. Women uses the system against their husbands with false charges and there is no fixed time frame for divorce, it can take 5 to 10 years or more to get divorce in India. I want to give her divorce here.

depends on the country and marriage. for example common law marriage isn't accepted much outside canada. same with same sex. so "canadian marriages" aren't universally accepted everywhere. just as some US marriages aren't accepted every where within the country. also many countries don't have access to the marriage data and needs to be verified by the consulate. for example, marriage certificates from india has to be verified and notarized by indian consulate in canada when applying for PR. also divorce documents must be sent to the country of marriage so they know the marriage is no longer valid.

unfortunately you can't give her a divorce in canada unless both parties are present and even then i doubt it will be easy.

Can you get a Divorce if only one partner wants it?

Yes. If one spouse wants a Divorce then that is proof of a break down in your marriage. However, you will need to wait for a one year separation period, or meet one of the other approved grounds for Divorce in Canada. To learn the specific details of the grounds for Divorce in Canada please visit our Divorce page.

Can you get a Divorce if you are not a Canadian citizen?

Yes. You do not have to be a Canadian citizen to be granted a Divorce in Canada. Also, it doesn't matter where your marriage took place. As long as you or your spouse has been a resident for at least a year, then you can apply for a Divorce.

From what I am reading, the OP can legally get a divorce in Canada while one is in India. IN any case, I would start finding a experienced international divorce lawyer and get their feedback.

LOL according to the link

a Divorce can be granted without the one year of separation if you can prove that your marriage has broken down for either of the following reasons:

Your spouse had sex with someone else after you married (adultery), and you did not forgive the adultery or live together for more than 90 days after finding out;
Or your spouse was physically or mentally cruel.

Generally it is not recommended that couples apply for Divorce under the 2 above grounds, as these Divorces tend to be longer and more costly.

thanks for the information. So, it means that Only after one year of stay here, I can file divorce. If you get any information on divorce where wife or spouse lied for just PR visa, then please let me know. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for providing information.
