Q: I am a legal resident here in NY currently applying for my American citizenship. About almost 3 months ago I married a man from Accra, Ghana. I want to end this marriage since I believe it is not going anywhere and also because I have been taking advantage financially by him. Could you please tell me what the procedures to follow?
I do not wish to travel back to Ghana so I wonder I can get this done here in the US.
A: David's Answer: Divorce/Annulment forms are available on the court's website if you wish to do it yourself: http://www.courts.state.ny.us/divorce/forms.shtml. The basic step would be to file the case & assuming he's living in Ghana, but is consenting to the divorce, you can send a consent affidavit over to him to execute. -- David Bliven, Westchester Divorce lawyer (www.blivenlaw.net)
