Consequences of fake marriage?
Here's the situation:
27-year-old Hispanic male has been dating his 26-year-old girlfriend since February 2007 and living with her and her 2 kids since August 2007. However, he just filed for divorce in early October 2007. He told his girlfriend that his wife left him, but he and his wife filed jointly. His wife is also 15 years his senior, which makes me think it wasn't a "separation-turned-to-divorce" issue. His girlfriend is also pregnant as of late October 2007.
My gut feeling is that this guy married someone who was a citizen so that he could get his papers, they're getting divorced because he finally got them and he knocked up his girlfriend as insurance. What are the legal consequences if a) this actually happened and b) someone finds out about it? He's already got a record that includes 2 hit and runs, obstructing an officer and 4 DUI convictions(those don't include the ones they dismissed).
