Default Sham Marriage

I have a friend who has been married for 5 years, the husband was brought over here from another country and they now have a young child. The husband has recently (< 6 months ago) received a Green card and has now decided he wants a divorce. We believe he had intentions from day 1 to marry and divorce as soon as the Green card arrives. Now that he has a green card, is there anyway to void this in order to have him deported? We believe the marriage was a scheme for him to get into this country and nothing more. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Question

Have you thought about what is going to happen to the child if her dad is deported and not able to see him again?

Think about the kid. You can not be sure that the marriage was a scam from the beginning. They've been together for five years, feelings could have easily change during that time.

Cool

I agree with the previous posters. However much you think the guy deserves to be deported, it’s not worth the effort. He has a kid that needs a father. You said nothing about abuse so I’m assuming he is a decent father. Plus, it will be almost impossible to prove a sham marriage after the fact. Especially since your only real argument is that he had bad intentions. That’s a question of his state of mind and only he can really speak to it in a court of law. After all, it sounds like he was convincing enough about his honest intent to be married for 5 years…
