If it's genuine and you can prove it, then that's one thing. But if you are only doing it to stay in the US then that would be immigration fraud, and could result in a permanent ban, or your GC/citizenship being taken away even if it's discovered years/decades later. So make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

  it is genuine .. but my job is traveling and she is now pursuing college and our 14 y

 daughter is with her  .. well we re in good relations. she wants now to do something with her life .

What's preventing you to finding work closer to her so you can live together?  You will have to think long and deep about what you guys want... sort your priorities.  

 

Don't forget to work on your ex-Yugoslavia/Kosovo papers also.  

Worse comes to worst, you'd end up in Europe.

 This is wgat i found

 

Yes, an I-485 can potentially be approved even if the I-130 was approved and the couple separated after the I-130 was filed, especially if the marriage was initially entered into in good faith. However, the separation, particularly if it occurred after the I-130 was filed, will be scrutinized to determine if the marriage was fraudulent at its inception. If the marriage was genuine at the time of the I-130 filing, the separation doesn't automatically disqualify the I-485 application. Additionally, if the couple has a child together, that child can also be included in the I-485 application, provided the child was born within the valid marriage.

Found where? Unless it’s from a legit source then ignore it (particularly if it’s AI, which is totally unreliable).

• Child support payments themselves are generally not a factor in immigration decisions, including I-485 applications, according to immigration attorneys. USCIS does not consider child support payments when deciding whether to grant or deny an immigrant's application for a visa or citizenship. 
   
• The fact that you separated and pay child support does not automatically disqualify you from obtaining a green card .

  Well  lawyers got me to this mess. 2 times I paid money orders for i485  but they  never filed and just took the money. WHen i was immigration hearing Judge was going to approve i495 but there was application and blank money order .So judge called right there lawyer and asked him  he said he can't remember the case. Most lawyers telling me don't worry , but that's what got me not to do it years ago.  I hate it and I consider it a red flag ..  now i'm having a meeting with 2 good lawyers so see what they are going to say. Once a lawyer tells me he doesn't know what  239.2 a 7 and 1239.2.c     I know he is not a good experienced lawyer ..

  Let's see what they will say. I will not stop until I find some experienced lawyer. Filing i485 is not difficult; everybody can do it. but succeeding is important. My i130 was approved in a week and lasted less than one hour.

It is just a form, filling it is is not exactly difficult

That sounds like AI nonsense, again don't use it for immigration advice! It also sounds like it's asking about non-payment of child support, not paying it, which shows that you are separated. 

 

Only go to the official source or a proper lawyer, I'm guessing that the ones that screwed you over weren't legit. Make sure whoever you use is a member of AILA, and ask if they have experience in dealing with similar cases to yours. 

 

And as said above, you need to get your citizenship sorted urgently. Start that asap.
