You've mixed a lot of legal issues here. Your immigration status isn't really relevant to your divorce questions. If you want a divorce, you should file for divorce.

There is barely any information stated here that would allow to an attorney to guess what form would apply. Please restate your question and provide more detailed facts.
And filed a wrongful death lawsuit. 4 cases total in 2 months all lies and each getting thrown out of court. I am having to miss work to appear on these cases and fear losing my job over lies. Can I sue or get respondent in trouble for harassing me with court system?
answered on Jun 24, 2022
If as you say, the case were "thrown out of court" (meaning dismissed), you may be able to sue the restrained party for malicious prosecution if the dismissals were the result of a court determination that the lawsuits were without merit.
Thank you.

There is a legal process that must be followed for this to be done right. Don't take the law into your own hands and make a unilateral decision that is not supported by a court order. It will backfire on you. File a petition custody (or a parentage action) and concurrently file a Request... Read more »

Please discuss the facts with a local family law attorney. The incarceration of a parent, which sometimes follows an application for a domestic violence restraining order, is a significant factor that will require detailed fact-finding by the court so as to make appropriate orders.

What kind of lawyer would I need for this case
answered on May 31, 2022
You need an insurance coverage lawyer. You did not supply enough detail to get into the specifics of your case, but it sounds like you might have recourse against the insurance company if it paid out based on a forged document and you did not get the money.
I got a restraining order and had my first court date which they extended for a new date. I have accumulated more evidence for my case, do I need to serve the other party or submit it to the clerks office or can I just bring it to court with me
answered on May 21, 2022
It depends on what the new evidence is. As a general rule, you should include include all of your evidence, attachments, text messages etc. in your original moving papers. If there is now a new date, and depending on how far away the new date is, you could file an amended declaration with the new... Read more »

It's not clear what you mean by "obtain full rights". Has a conflict arisen regarding your rights? Is someone challenging your rights? Is the other parent seeking custody of visitation orders? It's not clear what you are trying to accomplish.

more info and clarification is needed.
the first thing you should do is write out a summary of all the facts so that the new lawyer you are going to contact has all the info.
there may be a conflict issue, but your lawyer who will have all the facts will be in the best position to assist you.

Parenting and matrimony don’t necessarily have to co-exist when it comes to raising a child. Being a custodial parent means the child spends the majority of his or her time with you, unless you and the father share 50/50 custody. Hopefully, the court issued an order as to who will claim the... Read more »
