Need Divorce/Immigration advice

[dianapockii]

I married my husband(he is American) in August 2013 in Salt Lake City, UT. We currently living in Atlanta in a house of his grandparent, we also have a 6 y.o daughter. I've become a permanent resident through marriage.

Long story short, he is currently insisting on me moving out, he is also working on divorce. I have a pretty decent job so I should be able to handle the child support etc., but I'm afraid that I can’t afford a divorce lawyer cause I don't have $12,000. Regarding what I've said before, I have a few questions:

1)Is it possible to make a divorce procedure cheaper somehow?
2)What are the laws now concerning my situation? I mean, will I be deported?

To begin with, I am not a lawyer, however my friend from Puerto-Rico has been through similar situation, so that is from her experience. As for your first question - to be concise you must agree with your husband the circumstances under which you are planning to get divorced. If your divorce doesn't involve custodial issues or you have got mutual consent regards break up, it would be a cheaper option for you to file uncontested divorce. You can do it by yourself or try divorce document preparation services if you are not sure about current forms and required documents.
Considering the second question, it seems to me you have to turn to your immigration attorney. According tothis website "your permanent residence status is conditional if it is based on a marriage that was less than 2 years old on the day you were given permanent residence", so as far as you have been married for more than 2 years you are not likely to be deported.

Are you currently a conditional permanent resident with a 2-year card?

It looks like you must have gotten a 10-year GC because you got married back in 2013. In this case, your GC is not void due to divorce. Even after divorce, a GC grants you the same benefits as before. However, when you renew your GC, then you will have to file separately. Which is no big deal, really. And no, you won't be deported just due to divorce.

Also note that if your partner filed for your financial support (remember form I-864 affidavit of support?) he's liable for 10 years or when certain criteria are met.

It's not 10 years. It's forever, until certain conditions are met.
