Moroccan Divorce

Salamu aleikum,

I found myself in some kind of weird situation. My husband and I are both Moroccans but have American citizenships and live in the US. We have a son who is 3 years old and I am expecting another baby soon. I just found out that he has a girlfriend in Morocco (he travels there a lot for biz) and from what I found, it seems to be quite serious and I wouldn't be surprised if he divorced me and married her.

We do not have a Moroccan marriage certificate and I wonder if he decided to live in Morocco and we go divorced in the US, would I get child custody according to Moroccan law. I am afraid he would report his children as abducted and I would lose them if I ever enter Morocco, since I don't plan to move to Morocco also.

Also, almost all our money is in Morocco, we have a shared account but I wonder if we were to get divorced, do I have a right to any of it? Especially if I don't plan to live there?



I never lived in Morocco and would be really grateful for any advice.

Thanks a lot!
