Can I get alimony from an illegal immigrant who is deported?

I understand that you are separated but still formally married and your husband lives in another country. At this point you would need to file for a dissolution of your marriage in the Oregon county where you reside and have him served with the necessary papers. However, it sounds like personal service on him would be difficult at best so you would have to publish the papers required for service for a month in a local newspaper that accepts public notices. Once the notice period plus an additional 30 days has elapsed, you can apply for a default dissolution judgment. Once that judgment has been entered, you and your then-former husband can legally re-marry. On the issue of spousal support, your 25-year marriage would support an award but you would have to submit some relatively-reliable information concerning his income as being significantly greater than yours. While the spousal support order would require him to pay you the amount stated in the order, if he is in another country there would be no way you could enforce that order unless he comes back to live in the United States. In that case, of course, he would be arrested and deported as soon as the state or federal authorities found out he was back. In any case, you should consult with an Oregon attorney where you live to flesh out this brief response to your question. BTW, next time, marry a U. S. citizen with family ties in your state of residence,
