I-864 only enforceable if immigrant gets visa correct?

Quick case update:

Current attorney is terrible at communicating and no help (have received 2 emails in almost 4 months). Wont answer emails/ calls and just said its "too difficult" to serve him. Tried to hire different lawyer in town but they said it's out of their wheelhouse. Recommended me to another attorney who deals with international custody and difficult divorces (EXPENSIVE lol). Called him and he said, this doesn't sound that difficult, why are other local attorneys not taking this on? Said he has ideas on how to serve him but he's confused why other attry's are scared considering we have no children, no assets, and never lived together.

No attorney wants to believe that we should ask the judge for email (even though the link shared earlier on this thread had success in other cases). They also shy away from publication as they don't know how to publish in Russian newspaper. (Also, I'm not sure that would work because no US cards work in Russia so how would I purchase?)

 

New hot shot attorney mentioned that he just had a case where the spouse did make it to the US on a visa, then divorced and courts enforced I-864 and immigrant refused to work. American spouse was on the hook for paying support indefinitely. 

 

Friendly reminder to make sure this is what you really want before you go down this path.

Well I know divorce law is not federal and the rules depend on what State you are in, and some of it what Judge you are before no doubt.

 

I also remember a case on here a few years back where the OP was not playing with a full set and the Lawyer seemed no better, so you had him his Lawyer and the Judge seemingly clueless and in that situation anything is possible. Do not know how it ended, perhaps it is still ongoing?

 

I thought the concept of publication when you were unable to serve etc was publishing locally, not in another Country.

Hmm..maybe you can treat yourself to a Vegas short stay in lieu of bigger legal fees and check out a Vegas quick divorce.

 

Jurisdiction shopping is not uncommon…

For anyone following -

 

My ex husband somehow made it to the US with his family (no idea how as I cancelled all of the paperwork relating to our marriage). He signed divorce papers and I am officially divorced. Happy as can be!
