No, as a legal permanent resident living in Rochester, you are not only authorized to live and work in the United States, but to freely marry or divorce here without worrying about your immigration status.
The same is true for your spouse. Divorce won’t change your permanent resident status, or interfere with any effort either of you may ultimately take to become naturalized US citizens.
Immigrant families often face a number of issues that other families don’t.
Family and property in foreign jurisdictions, religious concerns with matters of marriage and divorce, and protecting the assets and wealth that you’ve built in a new country can all make divorce a more frustrating and daunting experience for both spouses.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer are experienced in matters of divorce among new Americans, and can provide you the smartest legal guidance while remaining sensitive to the issues of your particular divorce.
