I have divorced and remarried, luckily at the time of the divorce he didn't try to get anything, hope he stays in the dark about the AOS and moves on, preferably back to his home country.

Since my fraudulent ex left me(while working an off-the-books job so no income on paper) I have been doing periodic Google searches on beneficiaries suing ex-spouses based on the i-864. He never naturalized(and I doubt he will) so in theory I need to be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. Since he walked away I don't know where he is. I have seen isolated cases here and there, but this morning stumbled upon this website set up by lawyers assisting divorced beneficiaries, many of whom as we know are scam artists: http://i-864.net/ I imagine with all the hungry lawyers out there and .gov refusing to take the sponsors' side this will just become more and more of a trend..... I am now making much more money than I was in the US and I know if my ex got wind of it and heard about these lawyers he would be chomping at the bit.

I am now an expat married to an Indian man, living in a third country. I hope I will never have to return to the US and deal with this system, as we see in this forum you can know someone for years but not really know them....

Love who you love, but keep your eyes open...

Do the courts(state or federal) ever try to uncover the plaintiff's undocumented income? I am asking because so many immigrants(at least in NY) work cash under the table jobs, this is well known and I can't imagine this would not be considered in determining the sponsor's obligations after divorce. When my ex ran out he was working a cash under the table grocery store job bringing home $1600 per month. In theory he could continue doing that for the rest of his life and I could be liable under the 864 because he has no income on paper, isn't accumulating SS quarters and I assume isn't filing tax returns. Would the courts try to find out how he has been surviving all this time?
