Affidavids of support and divorce
I know of a lady in the middle of a divorce. She's been here 2 years.
Husband is a real winner- abusive. Well, no difference discussing
him.
She's pennyless (in hiding) and the crux is cannot apply for
foodstamps. The affidavid of support which he will not live up to
prevents the goverment assistance. Her only concern is how to prevent
another woman from being in her place. Ie, she is willing to
suffer(cannot support herself now at all!), but doesn't want him to be
able to repeat. He is VERY wealthy. Support affidavid indicates a
net income 100-200k per year, couple mil in assets.
Can she fill out anything? Can she file anything with the INS about
his lack of support to get support or prevent him from doing this
again!@!

Actually the Affidavit is not the reason for the denial.
She is not eligible for food stamps because she has not lived in the US
long enough. When (if) she were ever to get public assistance, then he
would owe the money to the government. She will be eligible for
assistance before his obligation expires.

She needs a lawyer. At a minimum, he is tied to the 125 percent required
by the affidavit of support. The form he signed says he is to support
her with at least 125 percent of the povery level of income.
Community property state??
I don't think there is anything she can file with BCIS, but I have seen
reports of attorneys getting alimony by using the addidavit of support
documentation.
Is she not able to get a job? What do you mean by "can't support
herself"? She should report her husband to the police if he is abusive.

Sam,
This lady should visit a good lawyer. The I-864 says that she can sue her husband for the support, and that he is liable for the cost of her suit and the cost of collection, as well as the support that he owes her.

Re: Affidavids of support and divorce
Hello,
I just finished helping the wife of a foreign national who was abusing wife
and daughter who are also foreign nationals. There route is to go for
U-visa. Along with that there are programs in place to provide resettlement
assistance. They get money, education, and other benefits.
If the husband is a USC or Legal Resident it is a slam dunk for VAWA
violence against women act to become eligible for benefits.
I would send you some links but I just did a complete recovery and lost the
sights from my favorites. Also I don't know what state you're in and it
varies from state to state. It should not be difficult to locate support
orgs by just searching VAWA. Do that before paying a large retainer.
