I agree with my colleague. The parenting plan anticipates that both parents will agree to minor changes and will only seek court intervention as a last resort. Try to compromise on the interpretation. It's not worth spending thousands of dollars and missing time from work for a judge to tell... View More
I have my son adopted in November of court issues I'm trying to attain a copy of my son's birth certificate to show the IRS that I had my son for the first part of the year how do I go about doing that
answered on May 21, 2021
This is a tax question. The birth certificate will not prove that the child lived with you during the first part of the year. It will prove that you were his mother until the birth record is updated with the new parents' information. It looks like you are trying to claim the tax credit for the... View More

If your spouse is a US citizen and you are still married and living together, you are eligible for naturalization 3 years from the day you became a lawful permanent resident.

I agreed to pay a storage and dock fee for the boat we co-owned a the time (but only she has sole use of the boat) until the boat is sold (which she is supposed to do).

If there is a time limit in which the former wife was supposed to sell the boat and she hasn’t done so, then you may have a contempt action against her.
I am a foreign citizen and I just got my marriage-based conditional green card which expires in two years. My spouce is much older than me (late 60s) and has heart problems (he had surgery about 7 years ago and will probably need another one soon to install some kind of mechanism). He wants to...

As my colleague stated, you need to file form I-751 I your marriage ends in a divorce before your conditional residency expires. My concern for you however, is that, with such a short marriage it may raise red flags to the immigration officer about whether your marriage was real.
completed as my first marriage and divorce took place in Peru.

If your second marriage occurred before the dissolution of your first marriage was finalized, the second marriage is void. This means that it is invalid, as if it never took place. You will need to marry your second spouse again.
In a married based aos process, if we get divorced before the green card interview, how long would I have to leave the country?
answered on May 9, 2018
If you get divorced while the AOS is pending you are no longer considered an immediate relative of your spouse and are no longer eligible for the current visa category. There may be other options available to you which may mean that you do not have to leave the country. Speak to immigration... View More

You may need to set an Infopass appointment with your USCIS district office to find out whether your green card is expired. You can also do an application for a replacement permanent resident card if the card is lost, stolen or mutilated.

You can file a notice of voluntary dismissal in the California divorce case. Assuming that your spouse did not file a counter petition, then the notice of voluntary dismissal should be sufficient to get the case dismissed. Also, the clerk may close the case on its own after a long period of... View More
