Once the parents come to U.S. soil they were granted Green Cards a few months later.  However, her mother came here in June. USCIS sent the green card and it was never received it was lost/stolen.  She applied for a replacement greencard.

 

The father arrived here last month and already received his green card a few weeks later.

 

 

It doesn't matter whether her Green card was lost or not. The endorsement on the visa in her passport already acts like a Green card and makes her a LPR.

The credit agency will be coming after me for payment

No credit agency will come after you unless you co-signed a credit for them. However if they become a public charge then the goverment might come after you. You signed the I-864 to vouch for the parents that they don't become a public charge. 

 

BTW you already received some advice in your previous thread and there is really nothing else you can do about the I-864. So hope that they become citizens after 5 years.

 

Sorry you're going through all this and I cannot imagine how stressful it is for you.

Just in case you do not read the thread linked above, and since no one addressed it yet- 

some people have put in their divorce decrees a clause about not going after the other spouse for support under the 864 and agreeing to be responsible/reimburse spouse for any collections by government. However it is unknown if this would hold up in court later on (being sued for 864 support OR going to court to get reimbursement) because no one who has such an agreement has attempted to challenge it later. (at least not yet. Im sure a case will come up at some point but the courts that handle 864 support lawsuits are district courts (based on where you live) and they dont always rule the same way.

 

So you can try to get a clause written in to your divorce but it may not be enforceable later on. You also do run the risk of bringing the matter to your ex's attention where they currently may not have any idea you can be forced to support the parents financially. But your ex isnt asking for spousal support or anything so I dunno. Does your ex work? Good job? Degree? How were the parents planning on funding their retirement in the US? Pensions? Insurance? Obviously you do not need to answer these questions but you do need to think about when considering whether or not to try to include a clause in the divorce.
