That's exactly the same thing I want to know...From what I have found out you must divorce in Costa Rica..If your spouse doesn't want to divorce you, then you must wait two years before it can be finalized there.
You as a married person in Costa Rica must divorce with the Costa Rican laws, even if you appeared single in the US or anywhere else. Failure to get that divorce can cause you a lot of trouble, because Costa Rican laws might reach other country's laws and you will have to pay spouse support. Find a Costa Rican Law office and tell them your story and your needs.

It would probably be easiest in the country where you were married. Also, if everybody is in agreement, get an "uncontested" divorce. They are much easier and cheaper.

If a person with valid visa marries a US citizen what documents or status does he obtain right away?
That person doesn't receive anything automatically. If the citizen applies for the person to become a permanent resident, the person will receive a green card, which will allow them to obtain a social security number, driver's license, etc. The process usually takes from 1-3 years and is very expensive. If the couple has not been married for 2 years, the greencard is conditional. This means that if there is divorce within 2 years of obtaining the greencard, it will be taken away. The alien can apply for citizenship 3 years after receiving the greencard as long as s/he is still married to the same US citizen. Immigration benefits should play ABOLUTELY NO role in your decision about who and when to marry. If you get married for immigration benefits, it is considered a felony fraud, whether the citizen you married was in on it or not.
Your husband is living with an illegal immigrant but she married somebody else to get permanent status what should you do?

What child custody rights does a female illegal alien married to a male US citizen have if they divorce?
If she is married to a US citizen, surely she isn't an illegal alien? Unless they married using false documents or some other illicit means, in which case there is no marriage and so no divorce; I should imagine in that case the children are hers. It sounds a very complex situation and legal advice should be sought to resolve the case. Above all, don't take advice from friends or family. Speak to someone who knows about these things; you could approach the appropriate government department - anonymously, if you like - to at least get an idea of where you stand.
What happens if you divorce before you get a conditional green card and What happens if you divorce while you are being called for the conditional green card interview?
Normally you have to file the I-751 form jointly. As you are divorced, you can apply for a waiver for joint filing. But you should be able to prove that you entered the marriage with honesty and good intentions and not just for the sake of getting a green card.
