Yes, go to the interview, Joint ROC interview requires your presence. If you are not there and IO wants to interview you both your i751 case could be denied. I would leave the child at home; they may not be admitted to the field office. You should if you can.

You should retain a good immigration lawyer to help you through adjustment process since there is a good chance, he may get charged with misrepresenting the reason for entering the USA on the B1B2 visa. He knew his spouse before entering the USA, had a baby, got married, and did not return to his home county. Your case is complex, you will need to get a waiver if found to make a misrepresentation. A lawyer may help you avoid the misrepresentation issue and will help with the waiver if needed. You don't have a simple AOS case, so you need a good lawyer, good luck to you all of you.

In our combo interview it took three weeks for both cases to be approved after interview, may take a bit longer in your case due to the l751 file not at the field office during interview. Hope USCIS gets it act together soon and approves your cases in the next few weeks.

Sure, One of the parts of proving a bonified marriage is to show commingling of finances, combining income together and showing you are paying expenses with that combined income. The most straightforward way to show this is to have a shared checking account and each of you deposit money into the account each month (direct deposit from pay) and show paying your monthly bills each month. So, if you can provide monthly bank statements for each month during the marriage showing the deposits and expenses is the best proof. If one partner has income you can still show, as best you can, that the partner with income is paying for joint expenses from bank statements. If you have separate accounts, you can show that each of you is paying shared expenses separately i.e. one pays the rent, the other pay the home energy bill and so on, each month during the marriage from bank statements from each account. If you have joint saving you can show monthly statements for that account as well. If you have joint/shared credit cards you can show monthly statements from that account. Use any or all of your monthly financial statements to show how you and your partner support one another financially during your marriage.

Some suggestions on additional evidence to try and obtain from your ex. It looks like you are light on evidence for co-mingling of finances with no bank statements submitted. If you and your ex can show that each paid bills for one another showing deposit of pay from employers and paying bills with a common account with bank statements over the time you were together would go a long way to prove you bonified marriage proof. You can provide copies of W2 and 1099 from the time of your marriage from both you and your spouse, they provide the address you were living at the time and income from both you for your income tax comingling of income. Copies of your state income tax documents if applicable for your state and if you have not already included them. Copy of mail addressed to each of you or both of you at your common home address during your marriage anything from Christmas cards to official documents even junk mail mailed to your home address. Photos on letter sized paper with captions indicating who is in the photo, where and when photos taken. So, if you were on vacation somewhere with ex show print two or three photos on a page with a description like My name, my ex-name on trip to New York May 2019.
