Hi Everyone,
I have read the forum a lot and thank everyone for sharing their information and insights about this sad and difficult period of life.
My Taiwanese wife wants to divorce me, we have 2 young children, my ARC(which was granted because of joining family) expires April 2009. I understand that with children involved, the TW gov’t will often allow foreigners to stay in Taiwan till their visa expires. So, ideally, I would hope that my wife would wait at least till then, but I doubt it. I own property in Taiwan (ok, I don’t, all of it is in her name even though I have paid for it) but my main concern is my children and hopefully figuring out a legal way to stay in Taiwan to be near my kids. I have been married over 5 years and have lived in Taiwan for 8 years, but…that period of time was interrupted by my master’s studies so I do not know if I can qualify for a permanent visa in Taiwan.
Does anyone here have some contact information about a good family lawyer in Taiwan? If they speak English that is a bonus, but my Mandarin is good enough that it’s not a necessity. Any other information or help would all be greatly appreciated.
