Question #227
I married a Brazilian man in NYC (town hall) on July 10, 1994. We resided in Manhattan until May 1995, after which we moved to Brazil with our newborn son. My ex is a prosecutor in Brazil, and our marriage was legally recognized there, and I became a legal resident. I obtained work as a translator. In 2003 my husband and I divorced amicably, and I remained in the country until 2009. I returned to NYC in July 2009, where I lived until June 2010, when I moved to NJ, where I currently live with my son and new fiancée. My question is: I plan on remarrying this year. I understand that there is an agreement between Brazil and the US wherein one country recognizes the marriages and divorces conducted in the other, and it’s simply a matter of filing the requisite paperwork. Is this true? Do you handle this type of situation? What is your fee schedule for this type of situation?
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Question #5
My friend has been married for less than two years and has a three-year-old daughter. He moved out of his house over six months ago but has not been able to afford a divorce yet. He and his wife have been planning to legally separate, and then convert to a divorce after the allotted amount of time, but he’s getting anxious about it and would like to get it over with already. We are curious as to the formal definition of “adultery” and what implications it is admitting to adultery might have for his future alimony. Also, since his wife works (although she makes less than he does), will he have to pay alimony at all? We live in NY state.

Question #13
My brother has lived with his companion for the past three years. They have a two years old baby. He is planning to separate from this person, but he does not know how what the procedures are to following and where he can go for advice about the law (child support and alimony). They are not married, yet he wants to take responsibility for his duties and what the law of NYC states. I appreciate any advice on this matter. Thank you!

Question #20
Currently, I am involved in an upcoming divorce proceeding where the wife may claim adultery. I have reviewed your other messages and see that some sort of proof is required. What is/could be considered evidence? I live in the state of Georgia. She has also contacted the husband of the person that I supposedly had this affair with, and I am trying to control the damage to many innocent people. I have scheduled a meeting with counsel, but this is getting out-of-hand rapidly, and any basic information would be appreciated. Thank You

Question #24
What is a determining factor for filing for a divorce or obtaining a dissolution? I don’t want to thru lawyers and courts. My husband committed adultery and fathered a child. He stays out late at night and isn’t supportive emotionally. All I want is to be out of the marriage and for him to support our daughter.

Question #29
My wife committed adultery. I have heard that this is a basis for getting an immediate divorce–within 30 days. Also that the property settlement (settlement agreement?) is a separate issue, my question is, can I get a divorce before a property settlement agreement is reached?
