my brother returned to UK 3 years ago with his South African wife. They have since separated and she has managed to convince him that she will only sign divorce papers once she receives British citizenship. He claims this has been documented to him via her South African lawyers. Should she not receive citizenship he will apparently be forced to pay over to her 50% of his life insurance policies. She is 53 and he is 50. He adopted her son who also resides in the UK after receiving ancestral citizenship - he is 27years old. How can she hold him to ranson like this. She is working as a care-worker in the UK although was medically boarded in S.A. with ';back related problems';! Any advice?Can a spouse withhold divorce until she receives UK citizenship?
Tell your brother he has no liability to wait for her. She's just looking out for herself. If he wants to be kind, then he can wait...if it's not amicable, he can take her to court to explain the story there.Can a spouse withhold divorce until she receives UK citizenship?
I agree...let him know and good luck !

She can contest but it can still be granted in court.
