My husband owes back child support for children of a previous relationship. He's presently unemployed and our finances are being supported by my student loans.
We want to apply for his citizenship, but worry that the arrearages for child support will affect the process and outcome.
Has anyone had this situation and what does our chances look like? I believe that becoming a citizen will open up more employment opportunities which will help him get caught up with his child support obligation, as he wants to be part of his other children's lives
Please advise. Should we continue to wait to apply for his citizenship until he's paid up (which at the foreseeable future dictates will take years) or should we apply now and explain our extenuating circumstances which are completely verifiable?
Thanks,
Sandra
