Cliff Notes on bottom :
My older brother did a year at law school. He met a Chinese woman originally from China.
To make a long story short, they started dating 2nd semester and ended up getting married a few days ago. I will spare all the weirdness and try to make this a combination of cliff notes and a story.
Anyways, the mother comes from china earlier in the week. At this point they are only engaged wanting to get married. My older brother did not want to continue law school and secured a well paying job and his own place far from law school near where we live.
If they were to get married, the girl agreed to transfer law school and finish up locally, while living at the new place. Fine, older brother is 23 years old and can make his own decisions. The family was very wary as they had only been dating since January.
The mother comes down, and the girl makes it apparent that she will not be transferring law schools and will finish it 500 miles away. Fine everyone thinks. This is probably the best choice for her. But at this point there is really no point in getting married. If you live 500 miles away and will only be spending like 4 weeks a year together, there is really no point in getting married.
My parents express that marriage would be unacceptable if they did not live together. My brother and the girl agree with this. We will just date they say. The girl was supposed to spend the rest of the summer at our home at this point.
The mother is here and they head up to NY 2 days in a row. Fine, she s from China and seeing the greatest city in the world is understandable. This is where it gets weird. My brother and this girl elope. They head to the chinese embassy, get all info in, and get married in NY.
The day after getting married she informs everyone that she will not be spending any more time here and will tour a bit with her mother and head back to law school. On the night of marriage there is no consumation. And the girl starts getting very cold to my brother.
2 days after the marriage, when she informs us she is leaving, we ask for the marriage certificate. She refuses to give us either the certificate or a copy of it. Eventually we had to threaten to call the police to get a copy of the certificate.
It occurs to my brother that he does not have his passport. We check all around and it is not there. We ask the Chinese woman if she has it. She says no she does not. We then request that she check her bags to make sure, (in front of us). She refuses. We say that we will not be giving them a ride to the train station, unless she checks her belongings for it in front of us. She refuses again. We wait. She checks her belongings, and it is there, contrary to what she said. (It was in one of her small bags..this is important because when we were packing the car up, we tried to move it to make room for other bags. When anyone but her touched it, she flipped out.)
This is the part where I need the tech knowledge opinions of anandtech. She secretly packed away my brother's laptop in her belongings. We asked her if she had it. Again, she said no. We sent our youngest brother (bar fighter / bouncer / bodybuilder) to check her belongings for it. It is neatly stowed away in her belongings. He removes it, and we inform her that we have his laptop and that she will not be taking it with her, because well, its fvcken ours.
At this point, the Chinese girl flips and demands to take it, she has important information on it. But, well, bar fighter has it, and ain t no one taking it from him, unless they are packing heat.
Basically, now, it is very apparent that this marriage wasnt, really real. We will begin steps to get an anullment soon. But my family wants me to take the laptop and see what the hell is on there, that is so important.
Basically, I will install norton ghost, and ghost the hard drive to CD's then I will begin snooping around. Is there a good freeware program to aid me in this ?
Also, can anyone offer any legal advice on the anullment process or any advice on what we should be watching out for legally? The entire family is lawyers, and we have no lawyers in the family.
Thoughts?
Cliff notes:
1.) Brother got married to chinese woman he knew for 6 months.
2.) Chinese woman lied to him about post-marriage arrangements
3.) Chinese woman lied about possessing brother's visa, marriage certificate, and brother's laptop
4.) We took back all 3 of these.
5.) Need computer advice on how to find what she was protecting on brothers laptop, need legal advice on getting her ass deported and marriage anulled.
6.) Brother got 0wned.
