Can my husband's ex-wife take him back to court for more child support based on my income now that we are married?

No. Your income cannot be redirected toward your husband's children he had by another woman. However, a judge may take into consideration your husband's ability to pay in light of his present circumstances. If, for example, you are the primary bread winner and earn substantially more than him, a judge may rule that his lifestyle will not be significantly changed by paying more child support.

How long takes after you get married to a us resident for you to get your residency?

It all depends on the process you choose to hold a Permanent Residency card. A good recommendation would be to have an Immigration Lawyer assist you with the application process. Although expensive, the legal assistance is well worth the time and money you will be spending. And depending on the US Citizenship and Immigration Services' workload, a minimum of 8-10 months would be required for the entire process to be completed and for you to hold your Permanent Residency card. If you choose to go about it on your own, the process might become lengthy, overwhelming and frustrating.

What rights do illegal aliens have?

Illegal immigrants do not have rights because they are not citizens of said country. If you are speaking of the United States, for instance, if an illegal alien was to come here, they would have no rights since they lack citizenship and entered illegally--breaking the law. Laws of each land (country) only protect citizens of that country and legal residents who enter and leave or are on a legal path to citizenship of a country.

If someone marries a person to give them US citizenship how long do they have to remain married?

Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT confer citizenship nor does it insure permanent resident status for the immigrant spouse. It does change the priority in which either issue would be handled by the USCIS. Marrying a foreign national for the purpose of said person gaining residency or citizenship is a violation of federal law. If a "marriage of convenience" is proven the penalties are severe, both could face criminal charges carrying a 5-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine. In addition after serving his or her sentence, the immmigrant spouse would be deported and barred permanently from entering the U.S., and the citizen spouse would have a criminal felony record.

Should non-citizens be granted the same rights as citizens in the us why or why not?

This question is answered differently by each person. However in this citizen's humble opinion, the answer is no. A non-citizen is not under or bound by the Constitution of the United States, and thus should not receive the rights thereof, insofar as those rights are not basic liberties such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc.

What are your options if your work visa got denied?

I'm sorry to say but there are no options or only one. I do not believe there is an appeal process for denial of work visas. If your currently in the US and do not leave your only alternative would be to marry a US Citizen otherwise you are jeapordizing your ability to return to the US in the future if you over stay your current visa. If your not in the US then that is not an issue. Good Luck!

How much does a same-sex wedding cost?

The best answer to this is that the same average cost ($27,000) should apply to all weddings. However, there are some issues to be taken into account:

  1. Some same-sex couples may need to travel out-of-state to be married. This can increase the cost of the wedding exponentially.
  2. Some friends and family members may not be supportive of same-sex marriage and may opt not to attend, thereby reducing the number of guests in some instances.
  3. Some same-sex weddings may lack a wedding dress, the parties choosing to both wear tuxedos. Since tuxedos can be rented or purchased for much cheaper than a wedding gown can, this can help reduce costs.
  4. Some same-sex couples, especially older ones, may seek marriage for its legal benefits and may view the wedding as a mere formality rather than a massive social event, thereby reducing costs.
  5. Many same-sex couples choose a civil ceremony, which may have fewer costs associated with it than a church wedding.
