First off you need to stop worrying about CPS. Report the abuse to the police, and press charges. Explain that you didn't k now about it until after she had left. The children need to know that people who do this sort of thing will be punished. It will help with healing. If she has criminal charges against her, she won't be able to get citizenship. This will help get her sent back, and prevent her from scamming another family. Plus, you need to see if you can get counselling for your children. There are organizations that will provide it free of charge -- ask the police... as a victim of a crime, often you can talk to a victim witness coordinator who will help procure these things for you and your children. Or call an abuse shelter and ask where they could get some counselling. or guidance counsellors at school. The important thing is, they -- and you -- need help. Immediately. Their mental and emotional state is more important than any money or debt. YOu can file for bankruptcy. Hpefully it will all work out.

Agree with Lifes Journey here:
1. Fire your current lawyer and hire someone else. If it makes you feel better, speak to another lawyer BEFORE firing your current one (nothing wrong with second opinions) to see what they think. Perhaps consider hiring a female lawyer, then its not the evil man against the poor little woman. Also consider hiring one that has an immigration lawyer in the same firm so they can discuss the I-864 stuff.
2. Contact ICE. Report the child abuse to police. I disagree that contacting them (police and/or ICE) and telling them about the abuse would go against you. Find out whether the children told anyone about the abuse before everything went bad. You don't need to discuss the ICE stuff in family court, but you might end up mentioning the child abuse... if you can keep the kid out of it though that's better.
3. Contact a financial advisor. You can file bankruptcy in a way to not lose the house. Explore your options here.
4. Start doing fun things with the kids. Even if they're free things you want to start bringing joy back into their lives. I'm thinking some family counselling BUT sometimes dwelling makes things worse. They need to be told though that SHE is a bad person and that they did nothing wrong. You want to sympathise with them but not allow it to turn into something to obsess about. I know that sounds bad but it's like controlled crying with babies. If you go and pick them up the second they cry they'll cry just for attention. Something bad happened to them (and you) and you need to acknowledge that and move on with life. Teach them that life sometimes sucks but they just need to pick themselves up and move on and up. I'm sure they'll be fine.
I do have one question though, so she became eligible to ROC in December?? It's now July and she hasn't ROC'd? Her status is cancelled and she will be deported. Perhaps you should also advise ICE where she is (and the marriage fraud) and she'll be arrested again. Do you have ANY evidence that she married you for the GC? Can you get a letter/report from the woman's shelter (I doubt it) that she was there lying? Honestly though that's kinda old news and you took her back so... I don't know... At least she's out of your life and your children's life. The FB page stuff can help show that she doesn't require support per the terms of the I-864.
p.s. She doesn't qualify for "express citizenship". Married to you she could have been a USC in 3 years, divorced it's 5 years. Had she tried VAWA she could have still got it in 3 years. I'm sorry this happened to you and your kids.
