Different issues, different treatment. Marriage establishes a “fiduciary duty” to the spouse. All this depends on your state laws as well. Community property or not. You’re the sponsor - in the eyes of the law, regardless of her immigration status and/or whether you signed the 864/134 or not. I never signed or provided a 134 and my husband came from DR as well. Just because you withdrew your immigration petition, it has nothing to do with your responsibility to provide for her now as well. She can be out of status but it’s highly unlikely they’ll remove her unless she commits a crime, etc. I agree with other comments that you should settle in mediation and make her sign a waiver of any and all future claims against you. Sorry you’re going through this. Wishing you all the best!
