[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey hey your anger is misplaced, my husband has paid more than enough taxes in the years we were waiting for the green card for me to ask for some assistance. It won’t be forever! And I wouldn’t do that if not for my husband.

As per calculator he owes me much more than $1200. And yes we need to go through the interview to get the green card. It is a new rule so the USCIS people aren’t really clear what to ask about at the interview, and check the validity of marriage, though we were married long before we came here. So it is not recommended to be at any stage of legal separation or divorce.
He doesn’t care if I go back to my home country with our child.
I do have a work permit now and will get a more long term
One once I have the green card. I am planning to work and in fact am starting work in February but after a large gap in employment it is not easy.

I guess my question is: if we separate or divorce, and have an agreement that he pays much less than the calculator says to pay, and I am in dire straights and file for assistance, will the govt come after him? [/quote]

Of course they will come after him IF you manage to qualify for public assistance.  I mean, holy shit lady, do you think the taxpayers should have to subsidize you and your child instead of your husband when you are voluntarily accepting less support than the guidelines provide?  And, just so you know, the idea for this "scheme" of yours has been around for a while except the people that do it are predominately poor and it is a way they try to hide income.  [/quote]
