Injunctions for Protection Against Marriage Fraud

Summary

The bill would let people who were married to a non‑citizen for the purpose of evading immigration laws and who suffered abuse file a protective injunction in circuit court on their own, without needing a lawyer or paying a filing fee. Court clerks would provide simplified forms and assistance, and could be reimbursed for processing the petitions. The injunction could be enforced through civil or criminal contempt and related penalties.
