I was currently used as a bridge by my ex-wife to come to the United States. I’m trying to set up a complain to see if there is any way of holding the legalization process of my wife. She received a visa from the American Consulate in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in December 2008. . I went to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security / Citizenship and Immigration Services to get some help with this issue. The information Officer told me that I had very little to do so that my wife US Visa revoke.

What can I do?

Didn't you ask them directly what you had to do? I would start by calling USCIS and say you no longer wish to sponsor her for a green card, of course it would also be a good idea to file for divorce, in most cases after the divorce her green card would get denied.

I talk to USCIS but they told me that I have to write a letter to ICE and I did, but they haven't answer my question. They also told me that she will have permanent green card and I had very little to do.

Can you give me a phone ,email that I can contact them?

Here is the only number I know for ICE

1-866-347-2423

Thanks

My ex wife came to US like 9 days ago for the first time and today I received a letter from Child Support... How can this happened? I have a 2 years old daughter with her, my baby has like 11 months with me and since my child was born I sent money to her.

She just came to my house took the baby and don't let me see her now.


I want my child custody this girl is crazy.

Go to whatever Court handles these matters in your City and file a petition for custody/visitation.

Was she crazy when you had the two children with her?

I already went to court.

We just have one kid together .

She star getting like that when she got pregnant.

We have an appoinment already in NY but the letter that I received from her where from NJ .


I have sent her money for the baby and I have receipts, also I have bought her clothes and everything that she needs.

What porcent I have to have my child with me having all the prove ?

My ex- wife came to the usa for the first time and immediately she went to child support.

My daughter has two years old and in those 2 years she has spent 11 months with me. I have sent money to her to the other country, I have bought clothes and I have all those receipts with me.

I haven't see my baby since my ex went to my house and took the child with her. I received a letter from nj court and I live in ny. :(

I want to know what can I do to have the custody ? I went to ny court already .

What did the NY court tell you or what was decided ?

If you figured this out after 3-4 years marriage, it's not fraud. If she is now a US citizen or a permanent resident, nothing you can do.

In NY child support for one child is 17% of gross. Have you been paying that?

NJ uses a formula.

She must have transferred the case to NJ.

I had my daughter for 4 month in NY. M wife came to NY for first time and is keeping the baby for the time. I'm fightng for the custody of the baby in NYS. She's not working and doesn't have a stable house. What are my chance of winnig the cutody of my daughter?

THere is not enough information to give you a realistic answer. There are so many factors involved in this decision, none of which are listed. Her home and job have nothing to do with it.

I will tell you though that the fact that she has the baby now works against you.

Which are the factors?

Which are the factors?

Well, technically there is only one factor. "Best interest of the child". That basically means that it is up to the court to decide using any means at its disposal.

Historically speaking, with a newborn, all things being equal, the mother "wins" because studies show that a child needs its mother more in the first year than its father. Courts have shied away from this thinking in the last 10 years or so though. So really, it could be anything, focusing mostly over fitness of a parent, family support available and I have heard (but have no legal proof of) gender of the child.

But ultimately it comes down to your lawyer and the judge.

I wish I had a better answer to give you.

Are there any requirements for getting spousal support?

Depends on your state.

The general rule of thumb (state dependent) is that your spouse must have provided significant financial support to the household and the homebound spouse needed to be there because of household obligations (raised the kids, for instance)

I have heard cases where spousal support was refused when the home spouse didn't work "because he made enough to support us both" but had minimal household responsibilities.

Basically - if you were home because you had to be, then support may be considered.

Again though... depends on the state. Some will give it temporarily just cause that's how they do things. Ultimately it will come down to whatever is agreed upon in the dissolution agreement though.

Are there any requirements for getting spousal support?

Yes. You need it and the other side can afford to pay it.

I went to a child support hearing and the judge ordered health insure for my wife (ex). Is this standard or is there supposed to be a notification of this proceeding as well?


Thanks

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY


My wife (separated 2 years ago no divorced) came to NY for first time. I sponsor her because I want to have my daughter in this country but now she has 3 months here and she wants child support and spousl support and she said that she won't work cause I have to support her.


I already went to Child Support court ,right now I'm paying 650 dollars and the judge ordered Health Insure for my daughter and m ex wife. I will appeal for child support because that's not 17%.

I talked to a lawyer and he told me that the jugde will order to pay spousal support. Is this true?:confused: We never lived together she was in her country and I was here the only thing that we have in common is my daughter.


I can't effort a Spousal support will the judge order it?:confused:
