My husband migrated to Toronto Canada 6 years ago. He abandoned me and found a new love. I found out that he already has a daughter with the girl who is living in Manila Philippines, where I am. He cancelled my immigrant sponsorship 2 years ago, took my money, and sponsored the girl as a common law wife to migrate to Canada to stay with him. How can I ask him to divorce/annul our marriage if he is avoiding me?

I don't know why he would be avoiding you since he has obviously moved on I would think he would want a divorce himself. I would suggest seeing a lawyer. Many will give you a free consultation. This way you can find out what your legal rights are and what you can or cannot do. See if there are abandonment laws in your state. You may be able to file a legal seperation. That isn't the same as a divorce but would give you some relief as you wouldn't have any legal ties to anything he may be doing. Contact a legal professional they can at least let you know what your options are. [ mini222's advice column | Ask mini222 A Question ]

Hope I helped. [ ernst_384's advice column | Ask ernst_384 A Question ]
sassysara answered Saturday July 15 2006, 1:41 pm: I am not sure if the law is the same there as where I am, but since he left you 6 years ago he has abandoned you and you should be granted a divorce without his input. I would ask a lawyer in your town/city if you can't afford one I would search online for the Philippines divorce laws and what you would need to do.
