Q: if am a usa citizen and my ex its illegal immigrant can i get full custody?
we are getting divorced, he is illegally in the US, he has alcohol issues, and he was also verbally abusive when i left him. because he believes he has all the rights he always denies all the permission to go out of the country for vacations, he tells my first yes its fine and after i get the tickets he will say no, its your lost, anyway, he has threatened me about taking our son back to his country, he has visitations now, we have been separated since i was 3 months pregnant and he was never there until we went to court and agree on visitations, now we have a settlement on may and i want to know if i have a better chance to get sole custody.
A: it appears being an illegal immigrant is the lease of his concerns for obtaining custody. You should sit down with an attorney to discuss all of this (not just the illegal immigrant part)
