Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
immigration, divorce and spousal support
Hello, I am an American woman. I married a British man and we were married for 7 months and separated for 8 months until I filed for divorced. Now he's back to try and win spousal support. Is this possible?

Your matter is complex and you should get an attorney. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation
Re: immigration, divorce and spousal support
I do not believe that California distinguishes whether the spouse is a citizen or not if the spouse is entitled to spousal support as long as the couple were residing here in California. However, it would be best if you ask a family-law attorney regarding the issue of whether your ex-husband is even entitled to spousal support for such a short marriage.
