WasWonder Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I appreciate this community. We are not citizens of the US, however, our presence is legal in the US. We have a toddler 2 years old who is a US citizen. We have been fighting for everything since we were married at least once a week. Since our baby was born the fighting has gone up. We have said millions of things to each other. I had told her from the start that we will live with extended family. She was okay with it. Now, my brother and sister are living with me in a large house, she is not okay with it. My wife does not work and has no skills. She claims to be working as support engineer but I doubt that since she can not even open terminal or type a command. Her parents and brother are gaslighting her over whatsapp. They advise her for everything. They send her money or send things I say no to. What can I do to keep custody of my child? I don't want to lost 50% of my assets. We are in a community property state. Is there a Trust or something else I can establish to keep my assets? Any way I can keep Child with me with the case of extreme hardship for our toddler? Link to post Share on other sites
tzorno Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Sorry you are going through this. I'm at a loss if you and your wife are not US citizens but your child is. That is a complicated situation. In the US it is customary to divide the assets. I'm not sure how one could get around that. I hope somebody with much more knowledge than me comes along to give you advice. Until then, I would definitly seek legal counsel with a lawyer if you have the means. Best of luck to you. Link to post Share on other sites

Is your having sole custody in the best interests of your child, or would the child be better off if you shared custody? And if you don't mind my asking, did you not know anything about your wife (e.g. the lack of professional skills, the fact that she didn't have a job) before you married her?
