To Give It to God

How can my dad get his Filipina wife deported? My
dad is 60 years old, disabled missing half a leg, and in
very horrible condition to take care of himself.
He found a woman online from the Philippines who
was 19 years old at the time (Now currently 21)…..
And he flew many times to see her, and eventually she
came on a fiancée visa. My dad owns lots of properties.
He owns about 15 houses, and his income is from the
rent. He had these properties BEFORE the
marriage. From the start it was obvious she was a
gold digger, but when she first came she was nice to
everyone. Eventually she started ignoring everyone but
my father, and convinced him to kick out my brother,
and begun to separate our family. They’ve been
married for 9 months, and just recently she’s been
acting horrible right after he gave HER SISTER
$56,000 to buy a house in the Philippines. And now
she’s been non-stop yelling. And he ended up refusing
to give her money, and now she won’t speak to him at
all. They want to get a divorced, and she’s hiring a
lawyer because she wants all of his rental properties,
and my father was too stupid to get a prenup. Can we
get her deported? Is this marriage fraud? She’s taking
advantage of a sick, disabled man for his money, and
the whole marriage was just a fake. How do we do
this? We called homeland security but no one will help
us. I don’t want my dad to lose all of his houses, and
he has no other way to support himself. Also she’s
lying and saying that he abused her, and is going to
use it in court. He was trying to wake her up because
he THOUGHT she passed out (she was probably
faking), and she got a SPECK of blood in her ear
because he poked her with a box because he couldn’t
reach her and then she called the police on him. And
now I’m afraid that they’ll give her the properties in
court because she’s such an amazing, manipulating
liar. Please help.
