Q: I have a daughter abroad which i need custody. The mother has physically abused. I have proof and everything needed.
She lives in Dominican Republic and acquired us citizenship through me. I reside NYC. She lives with her mother. She has tried to kill me and has hurt me in various places. Such as stabs, broken nose, broken lip with stitches and broken head with a bottle. She says she doesnt care if she kills me. She does this in front of my daughter.
A: Not sure what you mean by abroad. Does the child live with the mother in another country? What is the New York connection?
