My husband and I were married in IL, in June 2011. In July, I left my job and eventually sold the condo I owned (at a loss) so I could move to Montreal where he was employed. He is has dual Canadian/American citizenship. While in Canada, he sponsored my residency application and I applied for a work visa, but I was not able to legally obtain employment here until I received a work permit. During the wait for my documents to come through, my husband has fallen in love with another woman and wants to divorce. I am in the process of moving back to Illinois, from where we will be filing for divorce. We were only married for 14 months, there are no children.
Unfortunately you have not been married long enough to ask for spousal support. If you have marital property of any kind we can fight to get you a percentage of that.
