Family Law

confused asked:


I posted a question yesterday about how can an illegal immigrant collect child support and I think every one misunderstood the question. I am not trying to collect child support I pay child support to an illegal alien and at the time we got married I had no idea he was illegal. It wasn’t until the divorce and we asked questions in the interrogatories that I found out all the information I addressed in the previous post. All discovery. So anybody have any answers for me different than I received as I am not crying over trying to collect child support, I have a job and do support my son. Just wondering why immigration status is not an issue for family courts, even the attorney generals office says he falls under immigrations jurisdiction and they can’t do anything about the social security fraud or tax evasion. He is not a U.S citizen. So basically illegal immigrants don’t have to abide my U.S. law.

My husband and I live in France but we have decided to move to United States. We had all the papers ready for the US Embassy and yet just now when I checked their site I saw the following announcement: “EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY consular officers at the United States Embassy in Paris can no longer accept I-130 petitions for family-based immigration to the United States. All I-130 petitions must be filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the United States.” They gave a link which apparently has information on where to file the I-130 form, but the link says that if you live abroad you should file at the US embassy or consulate. We are going to go to Paris anyway to ask them the same question, but does anyone know if I’ll have to move to US before I can file a petition for him? I hope it’s not true, because of immigration issues we were forced to have a long distance relationship for 2 years, and we really don’t want to repeat the experience!
