Hi,

 

Kindly advice me,

 

My wife and i separated after six years of marriage, on the month when i have to apply for 3 year rule citizenship, well that can be manageable but the stress of going through separation  and living without my two kids that really hurting me as my wife took 1 year restraining order against me. (she called cops but no arrest then she took restraining order which i agree to consent without guilty). Now i file for child visitation and its been a month and no response from court.

My question is; i wanted to help my wife with money and she is having kids and my kids needs money too. but court ordered me to stay away from her. Meanwhile her parents are not in contact too.  What i suppose to do if she dont ask any money. i dont know what to do.

Sounds like a divorce issue not an immigration one.  Talk to a lawyer.

You are legally responsible for child support.

Send all child support money through a state agency.......do not give money directly to ex-spouse......just my opinion.

Citizenship can wait, no one has to become a citizen.

 

For the other issues, family lawyer would be your best resource.

Citizenship has to wait, you need to be married and living together in a marital union when you swear your oath.
