Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

divorce citizenship

Hello,

I am a Turkish woman married with a Turkish- American man. We married in Turkey and I have a daughter from this marriage. I live in Turkey but as I know he lives in Arizona now. I heard that he has been married to another Mexican woman for 15 years before my marriage. How can I learn that it�s true or not? I need to know his marital status. Please, about this issue can you give me any advice? In addition if he is really married to this woman, in that case probably my marriage is not valid in the USA, what happened to my daughter�s citizenship, does she achieve American citizenship or not?

Re: divorce citizenship

Dear Madam,

Thank you for your inquiry.

We may check whether your husband was married in Turkey by sending request to the relevant state bodies. In order to check whether your husband was married in USA, it is necessary to send requests to the local authorities or to consult with American lawyers. Your questions regarding daughter's citizenship and validity of marriage will be subject to USA law.

If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
