She could look to get child support but obviously that is a long way away.

 

Perhaps friends and family could help with the plane ticket, contact the Brazilian Consulate?

 

PS sounds a lot, maybe shop around?

 

 

It's a 5000 mile flight, and will be 3 tickets. Her mother in brazil is disabled, and is not able to help. After she ends up in Brazil, I'm thinking the child support will be very hard to acquire. If she stays, she loses the ability to bring unborn child with her, after is born.

Same distance as going to the UK and returns cost less than that.

 

Put it on her CC?

 

As you say if she waits until the child is born could get very complicated.

I couldn't tell you why it is so expensive to fly there. That's on a good day, usually is higher. Out of Miami is cheaper, but that's no help. LOL She has no credit card, or money. Thanks for trying to help though.

Sounds like the Consulate is her best bet.

 

Makes you wonder how her and the children got a B in the first place, sort of assumed everybody has a CC nowadays.

 

Mind you sounds like you do not know here and your wide only vaguely.

Where is she currently living? And what city in Brazil she needs to go to?

 

I just checked. Three one way tickets from Miami to Rio or Sao Paulo are $1300 and $1500 total.

 

I just wanted to add that I think it is nonsense to not want to go back to your home country where you will have safety and support from family and friends. Also, child support here can be ordered but that doesn't mean she will receive it. There are plenty of people who dodge child support. Not only that, he could claim custody of the child himself.

I have seen many ppl recommend catholic charities. Check them out they may be able to help get her home asap. Also who ever that lawyer is at the shelter needs to be reported. Telling an abused women to stay in a dangerous situation is horrible.

More likely chinese whispers.

She should go home, she can’t be too far along if she just got here a couple months ago....... let her file an answer to the complaint and ask for child support via an attorney after she is back in Brazil. He is the US Citizen  and she can receive her child support on a card which she can use there. Also they can’t make her stay now, if she waits until she has the baby then she will need to seek permission to leave. I just really don’t think she wants to leave. Try a Catholic Charity, the Consulate. She can get into a shelter and try to seek assistance in getting funds to return.

I guess I wasn't clear. She does want to go back to Brazil. She does NOT want to stay in USA.  Yes, that is what I do know, from Miami is ALWAYS cheaper to Rio. Try a flight from Little Rock Arkansas to Rio.  I do appreciate your time though. She has gotten a ride from the police to a womens shelter. She still needs to find out how to get to her home country though.

Since she doesn't know English, possibly she wasn't clear at first, but in the mean time, the lawyer did have a police car pick her up, and she is now at the shelter.

She is in fact pregnant. I do not have the money for 3 plane tickets, which would be approximately $3000. She would like to get some child support I'm sure. She doesn't want to stay in the USA. One other thing, he married in one state, but they have lived in another state the entire time. The divorce complaint says they both live in the state they married, but they don't. Is that anything she can use to her advantage?

 

Which is not true.

Has she spoken to the Consulate?

No, she hasn't been able to. She is in Ohio. Since her kids are in school in Ohio, and she is living there, I think the shelter lawyer is going to sue him for claiming they live in Arkansas, where his hometown is...maybe they can get something going...Thanks for the suggestion though.

The complaint for divorce says they have lived in Arkansas for the last 60 days. They have lived the last 90 days in Ohio...
