My fiancée wants a divorce from his wife. There are a few difficulties. We are in Alaska, and she is in Colorado. We need to find someone who can help us, but who will not charge an outrageous amount of money. We would like someone who will take a lump sum down and then accept monthly payments. He is in the military if that makes any difference. We need this done quickly.

I got married on February 14, the year 2000, in New York City to a Singaporean citizen. I carry an Indian passport but am on an H1 visa and am working in a prestigious non-profit institution in Manhattan. My husband and I agreed for me to move to Singapore since he felt that life there would be more comfortable since he has established himself quite comfortably there. He also felt that raising a family would be more comfortable what with the presence of the extended family, domestic help, and a quiet life in Singapore. I moved to Singapore in August 2000 only to be told by him that he had changed his mind about raising a family. Since he had two children already from his first marriage, is 53 years old, he is unwilling to be a father again and pursue that kind of lifestyle. Thinking -hoping that he just had cold feet, we went for counseling, and it was revealed that he vehemently does not want to be a father again. I begged him to change his mind because I have always wanted and want so much to be a mother and raise even one child. I had given up my life, friends, and contacts in NYC to pursue family life with him. Plus, I am 41 years old with my biological clock ticking like a time bomb!!!! As if the child issue was not enough to bear, he had treated me as if I was merely his companion/date rather than his wife. Being his second marriage, he has told me that his priorities are towards his problematic 24-year-old son who lived with him, his health and that his money is his to do as he pleased. Thus, he gave me an allowance which I had to live within despite me being less affording and jobless and him having promised that he would take care of me and treat me like a queen, etc. Given the unfair conditions of this marriage, the feudalistic chauvinism that I was being subjected to, and the heartbreak, I have come back to NYC.
We have agreed to live separately to get some clarity. I would like to know what I can hope as a settlement in the event of a divorce? How will mediation help? Since I have a limited income, can I even afford to mediate, litigate? Does my immigration status affect what I can do? There are oceans between us (metaphorically, too). How can I go about securing a lifestyle that will not further humiliate me? Can broken promises be a basis for divorce? Your attention and help in this matter are much appreciated. Please forgive the panic and lack of cohesion of this message. I am distressed and depressed about all this.

I have been living with a friend for the last year since my husband left me two years ago. I work off the books since I don’t have too many skills. I pay my friend in cash, and most times, she gives me a receipt. I am interested in getting an uncontested divorce. There are no children or property assets. He also agreed since he wants to marry his new girlfriend. What can I use to show NY residency since I don’t drive, and I don’t use credit cards? Please advise.
