Full question:
My husband is hiding assets during our pending Divorce. I was neglected for most of the 17 year marriage. He forced me to sell my home and I later found out the transaction was fraudulent. He has stolen from my personal bank accounts. He kept our 7 year old son for 6 days without asking me and he prevented me from speaking with my son. I was unable to do anything because the Judge had not yet signed our mediated agreement regarding visitation and legal custody. My husband recently became a U.S. Citizen and I believe he only married me to stay in the Country. He has left us penniless while he lives the good life. I lived with no car on $150 per week while my husband made a 6 figure income. Is it possible to have my husband deported back to Canada?

Answer:
Naturalization may be revoked on the ground that the order admitting the person to citizenship and the certificate of naturalization were procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation. In a de-naturalization proceeding, the government must prove by clear and convincing evidence:
that the naturalized citizen misrepresented or concealed some fact;
that the misrepresentation or concealment was willful;
that the fact was material; and
that the naturalized citizen procured citizenship as a result of the misrepresentation or concealment.
