what is "find s-o-t-u"? Marriage was registered in E.Europe 2000, and fact of that confirmed by NY Family Court order 2005

If she has divorcced him then there is no marriage to be divorced from. He needs to find the state of the union before proceeding. That may involve some records searching or paying someone to do it for him.

Singledad you need to show NATIONWIDE divorce records. Some web sites you pay just $30.00 and you will be able to get either a positive or negative report.

I agree it's worth paying a professional to do. The stakes are too high not to.

as free divorce site showed 2 hits in NY, I just want to check their content (I suspect search engines just show that to suck u in). If my free quest indicates no adverse record in NY, I'll proceed w/all other paper-gathering and let Sanctuary take care of proofs. But thus far today, I haven't found a free site for conclusive NY check

Good news: friend's lawyer ran divorce check in NY state and reported

SORRY, CHECKED UNDER ALL VARIATIONS OF THE NAMES FOR BOTH PARTIES AS EITHER PLAINTIFF OR DEFENDANT, COULD NOT OBTAIN DIVORCE INFORMATION.

[Sandra G. 5,078]

SIngledad ANY organization or pro bono lawyer who will help you they will just FILE THE I-360.They will give you a list of documents that you must bring that's all. You MUST provide them with all proof, they won't take care of proof for you at all.

I'm indebted to you, as I now know what to ask ACS conference. Judge's 2004 order spelled out what he wanted ACS supervision for. I've had them adhere (via fair hearings, when I had to) to all items, except "legal residency". Now, since I can't renew DL, they've already asked if I was going to try and legalize. So I'll prepare this whole file as itemized above, and push in the conference for their assistance in "mother's termination" and other supporting papers I'm missing. I'll also ask them to refer me to Sanctuary and provide my immigration lawyer supporting docs from ACS files.

To sum up what mother did:

1. She lived lovingly and peacefully with Husband until births.

2. She stayed on prescription drugs during all trimesters, although Prozac was not mandated.

3. When she saw birth defects, she abandoned son.

4. She wouldn't put Husband's name on Birth Certificates, claiming he was not children's father.

5. She kept attacking Husband to vacate family residence. Once police and ACS got involved, she falsely accused husband of Domestic Violence.

6. Once Order of Protection was issued against Husband, she announced that she is abandoning daughter, too. Then she continued to harass Husband.

7. But now she was prosecuted for harassment and assault on Husband, and Order of Protection was issued against her.

8. She still returned to residence, asking everyone including ACS to give her last chance - and children were returned.

9. But now she found another man, and again gave up the children when Husband wasn't home.

10.Then she harassed Mother-in-Law, who got Order of Protection; so she moved in with another man and made no plan for return of children.

11.ACS kept children in Foster home over a year - till Court ascertained that Father had new suitable residence for children.

12.Children were discharged to Father, who didn't have Legal status - and she wouldn't Petition for him.

13.Court granted Husband Final Custody and right to obtain Birth Certificates.

14.With children under Social Services supervision, OCSE opened Child Support case - but she won a dismissal via elaborate fraud.

15.Husband files for Order of Protection and TCS in Family Court - but she's changed identity to avoid service.

16.Now she is LPR, and begins systematic threats against Husband and Children, if Child Support cases continued.

17.Children are in double jeopardy: Child Support was never paid, and threats intensify as her legal liability grows.

18,Father and ACS move to terminate Mother's rights

18,Father and ACS move to terminate Mother's rights

1-15 are irrelevant as she wasn't an LPR or USC at the time

In regards to VAWA:

16 cannot be proven

17 isn't relevant in the first instance, and and the second cannot be proven

18 is a continuation from before she was an LPR and I doubt it would help but it can't hurt either I suspect

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Why wouldn't it help?

What should officials in regard to this family? Isn't VAWA discretionary?

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Why wouldn't a Motion against LPR (or USC) Mother help?

Let me ask you:

What should officials resolve in regard to this family? Isn't VAWA discretionary?

What can they possibly decide in regard to these children, under ACS supervision for medical reasons - where ACS states that Father has done a superb job over all these years? And ACS supports terminating Mother's rights at this point

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Got another question: you rightfully and steadfastly point out that all of the Offender's physical actions against Husband and children took place when she was merely "Asylum Granted", i.e. had absolutely all benefits that LPR would have, except the card itself. And that her current children abandonment, which is about to be adjudicated, merely stems from her actions of that period.

Now suppose actions 1-10 have never even taken place - but today there is a motion against Mother due to children abandonment. What would your opinion be then?

[Boiler 46,248]

Are the children claiming Vawa, I thought they were USC.

[SingleDad2usc 71]

it's I-360 for parent. Is there something in VAWA for caregiver of children abused/neglected by LPR Parent?

Are the children claiming Vawa, I thought they were USC.

[Boiler 46,248]

Not that I know of.
