What are the requirements to marry a Muslim man?

Does anyone know what the requirements are to marry an Algerian Muslim? My fiance says its as simple as just moving there. He says that the visa process will be long, but easy. I have been reading a million sites and hear all this horrible stuff about Muslim men. Yes from what I read it's typical they say you don't need to convert. But if I am reading the informational sites right... He can move to the US and if we marry and then disagree he only needs to move back to Algeria and that law applies to our marriage. Also, I have a son already (not with him) and he says to he will become his father. Does this mean the rules now apply to my son and if I wish to divorce he could technically take custody of my son? And Algeria does not have dual citizenship like the US so what does this all mean? Does anyone have any other insite or website to help me
