Dear Newsweek, My divorce in 2011 was filed because of 28 years of abuse and irreconcilable differences. We did not have a prenup and my husband got his citizenship from marrying me. I borrowed money from my parents to help him in business and I gave birth to five children during our marriage.
My husband used our money to invest with 400 investors in 400 LLCs (limited liability companies) in 1990. He created partnerships to invest in properties with the intention to quitclaim (giving up a claim to) them for his safekeeping, while using me and our kids to take out loans for years till he quitclaims them away. This would leave myself and our kids insolvent in trusts he created that he controls to this day. I hired 20 lawyers and spent an enormous amount on legal fees.
My husband bifurcated (dividing into two parts) our divorce in 2011
