The Family Chantel Season 4 Episode 12: Pedro tells Chantel that he wants a divorce after consulting a lawyer

Tonight on The Family Chantel, Pedro met a divorce attorney for immigrants, Afiya, in the US. Pedro gave her all the relevant details about his marriage, and Afiya informed him that he was entitled to certain things after the divorce. She told Pedro that he could apply for American citizenship because he had been in the country for more than five years.

She informed Pedro that if Chantel did not respond to the divorce papers within 30 days, as he suspected her of doing, they could move to court to continue with the proceedings. At the end of their discussion, Pedro was shocked to learn of Afiya's $10,000 divorce fee for contested divorce cases.

He confirmed that Chantel's family accused him of using Chantel for a green card and whether it would affect his case. He cheered up when he got to know that Chantel would have to support him financially for ten years.

He later told his mother and sister that he was getting a divorce from Chantel. Later, Chantel was shocked to learn about the same but felt that there was nothing left to discuss in their marriage. She cried, saying that she trusted her husband when others told her he was using her for a green card.
