hello everybody!

haven't been here in very long, and have a new name, i guess matching more my "new" situation. long story as short as i can. i am a permanent resident, married to a us citizen, came here on k3, then adjusted status. marriage was bad from the beginning but kept on trying and hoping and praying. Out of the marriage came out a wonderful child. the marriage was very abusive in many ways and culminated with an order for protection that i got and left the house with our child. the order was shortly suspended - both parties consent - and "replaced" by a temporary order. the US citizen - spouse - has been in voluntary unemployment; we are now going through a nasty custody battle. i have temporary physical custody and we share legal custody. for the last 2 years, the US citizen has not paid me one cent for child support or for my support. as i was the only one working at the time i left, i was actually forced to keep paying for his medical insurance.

i am extremely unhappy with this situation for many reasons and often thought that he did sign an affidavit of support when bringing me to the states but has actually NEVER supported me.

I am employed and self-sufficient financially.

is there anything you think i could do so that he would be held accountable for NOT supporting me at all during all this time?

i would appreciate any ideas / input / examples you would have

As far as I know the only thing the Affadavit of Support really means is that should you become a ward of the state, etc. then he could be sued and made to pay any monies back that was used to support you. Or that his income would be counted in any monetary based aid that you might apply for.

It does not necessarily mean that he will support you and I really don't think you can do anything to make him (apart from the child support) actually.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
