It's over. Got my divorce today. I start new post today. No alimony. I agreed to pay her 2600 by March 9th.

Yes, the 1st attempt was thrown out for lack of jurisdiction. I put incorrect dates on the initial filing. Now, we back at it again. We met late last year. The follow-up hearing is 1/22/24. She did not retain counsel. My counsel will show up when we have a trail, but not for hearing. They're very expensive for status hearing. The I-134 or I-864 has not come up. That will come during the trail. Coincidentally, I realized I never filled out an I-130. Not sure if that matters much now, but lawyer will accompany me when we go to trial. She blew off mediation, because she belives the judge will award her more. She's been living on her own for over a year somewhere in DC.

At the last hearing when the judge realized we didn't have any marital propery or debit she Strongly emphasized we work things out in mediation, because we hadn't accumulated any debit or property together. She has nothing to loose so never showed up to mediation and wants a judge to decide. We go back on 1/22/24 for a status hearing.

Still going to court. I re-filed. Our next hearing is the 22nd. She hasn't shown up for mediation. She's been living on her own of over 1 year now. The judge may make us try again or set a trail date. The judge also let her know that with only 6 months of living together, she's not entitled to much. So the saga continues.

The letter just refer the fact she is authorized to remain in the country until her non-immigrant visa expires.

I go to court next month for another hearing in my divorce. The judge said the following: Defendant, who is from the Dominican Republic, alleged that, pursuant to the paperwork the parties had completed to sponsor Defendant’s entry into the United States, Plaintiff was financially obligated to support her while she resided in the United States. What does that mean? She never aquired a green card and is out of status right now. How do I explain to the judge I'm not her sponsoer anymore? The 485 has been denied. She has no basis for being here anymore. I realize she an re-apply for wavier and try to self petition.
