• Given her $480k income vs my -$84k debt, how quickly can we secure an emergency FC 2030 order to level playing field?

  Asked in Richmond, CA

  I need to file for custody of my twin sons (13yo) and challenge a post-nuptial signed under duress. My wife has used my immigration status as leverage to control custody decisions and force me into an unconscionable financial agreement. FACTS: Immigration Coercion: Wife filed I-130 green card petition for me, then used it as leverage Threatened to cancel petition unless I signed unfavorable post-nuptial agreement Recently attempted to cancel my I-130 in retaliation for requesting custody Have recordings of explicit immigration threats Post-Nup Under Duress: Signed December 2023 while separated from children and financially dependent Agreement gives her $2.5M in assets, leaves me with -$84K in debt My own attorney documented it was a "great disadvantage" before I signed I wrote at time of signing: "I have no other option to be able to live close to my kids" Wife's attorney admitted in writing she avoided discussing custody during post-nup negotiations because it would "weaken the enforceability of said agreement" Financial Disparity: She controls $500K+ in liquid assets She unilaterally drained joint accounts across three countries (US, Ind & Fra)I have zero access to community funds.

• What is the average cost to appeal a judge's decision on alimony and post separation support?

  Asked in Wilmington, NC

  A judge dismissed my claim for post-separation support and alimony, due to the fact I was missing the requested documents, bank statements, Venmo statements, 401(k), etc. I retired, and my wife was a family breadwinner, and she left the home and marriage for no qualifying reason other than to go find peace. Left me in a bad position, emotionally and financially.

• My employer is requiring a divorce decree to a common law marriage my now ex and I signed for health insurance.

  Asked in Tulsa, OK

  I need to file for a divorce from a common law marriage that began in 2014 because my employer is requiring a divorce decree. The only caveat is he is paying the mutual credit card off, and we both have taken possession of a car each with no quarrel (we acquired during our time together). We have been separated/not living together for several months. He is already with another woman. Advice on how to proceed and recommendations? He will not give me the divorce because "its more trouble than it is worth," but I want it asap.
