Whom enforces an "affidavit of support I-864"
Reason I'm asking,
I met someone in a homeless shelter. Her husband forced her out(very
abusive) and so the story goes. She is not eligeble for foodstamps
due to the I-864 and was denied.
Do you pettition the INS?? Seems like there should be some minimal
way to at least get her foodstamps while her divorce is being settled.
Her husband is very wealthy I'm told. Can a court impose allimony
payments or childsupport before the woman is divorced???

It is NOT the I-864 that is denying her foodstamps.... It is the law.
If there was no I-864, she still wouldn't be eligible.
The I-864 only indicates that the if they government gives her benefits,
her husband has to pay them back. I believe that she has to be here for
a specific amount of time to be eligible. The I-864 makes her husband
responsible for potentially a lot more time than that.
The court can impose spousal maintenance and child support before the
divorce. The I-864 clearly shows the husband agreed to support her at
125 percent of the poverty level.
If she hasn't been in the country very long, then she isn't eligible for
benefits. The whole point of the law is for taxpayers to not have to
foot the bill for immigrants. Petitioning the INS (CIS) isn't going to
help as CIS has no control over food stamp qualification.

The "story" may very well not be true. There are at least 2 sides to
every story...

Temporary sposual support/child support can indeed be issued by the
courts and it is what she should seek through the help of a competent
family lawyer.

Hi Michael
Heres a link that might help.

I believe she is allowed food stamps and other things, as long as it's
not money given by welfare. I wouldn't get to invovlved with her until
you find out the full story. Such as, have they filed for her
adjustment of status yet, or has she had her interview yet.If she
hasn't had her interview and he won't go with her. She could be sent
back to her home Country.
