divorce Getting divorce from a TN. Mexican marriage

[Woundedcolor 0]

Hello, hope someone can really help me... I really don't know what to do...

 

The first thing is that I'm getting divorced from a TN Visa holder (I'm a TD Visa holder/ dependent) and he committed physical and sexual assault against me in Mexico this year (we used to live together first in MI and then in CA, I came to Mexico to finish my studies for 6 months, and when he visited me he did committed the assaults and then leave to CA again)...

 

When I asked for the divorce he just took all our money from the bank account (his bank accounts because he never let me have my bank account or a familiar bank account), leaving me without any money, now, I have a lots of debts behind (medical bills to pay because I was the patient, scholar debts, etc), he told me he was not going to give me any money, besides that he always sent a lot of money to a house he has in Mexico so that he "could finish to pay it ASAP" but he knew I wasn't going to have any benefit from that house (he bought it before our marriage, in his past marriage).

It been already 2 months and he haven't send me any money, and I don't have a work because I'm not available to work as a TD holder.

What can I do? PLEASE HELP!

Divorce him and return to Mexico. Are you asking for relationship advice or immigration advice?

Immigration, what would happend with my status?, he could lose his job in CA? he also has my son social security number and he added him to the taxpayer return without asking me first and with out my authorization.

Once you divorce, you would lose your TD status.  

 

Why would he lose his job in CA?

 

If you filed a joint tax return, then it's normal for both of you to list your son on your joint tax return.  Did you sign the US tax return?  If you did, then you gave permission and he did nothing wrong.

 

Divorce and move on.  Report him to the authorities for assaulting you.

There really isn't anything immigration related to advise you on.

 

You need to file for a divorce. 

 

 Are you under the impression that the assault committed in Mexico could help you gain status? It won't. Also I'm not sure about his companies policies but unless he was arrested and convicted of a crime they probably aren't interested

No, and I'm worried about it... I won't like to PERMANENTLY harm him... I just want him to pay for what he did... but he just hide all our benefits as a married couple... I just want him the best with all of his mental problem without injuring me more about him...
