Q: My friend is worried that his brother divorce case will affect his travel to the U.S., he is a US citizen living in Iraq
My friend is a U.S. citizen who moved to Iraq in 2019 and has been traveling back and forth between Iraq and Virginia. In 2020, his brother filed for divorce, which has led to child custody issues, as the brother’s children are currently in Iraq. This situation has caused problems with his brother's wife in the U.S., who may have filed a police report or court case against them. She allowed the kids to travel with their father during COVID, and they have remained in Iraq since then.
My friend is concerned that his brother's ongoing divorce case might affect his ability to travel back to the U.S. He’s worried about the potential for claims against his brother that could involve him. Can you advise whether he can travel freely to the U.S. without worrying about the consequences of his brother’s divorce?
