Theresa alleged that her former husband cheated, lied, verbally abused her, and left their house when he got his green card.

She said she was a foster parent with several children in her care before her husband joined her. Although her husband was aware of this, Theresa said he accused her of planning to destroy his life because she was hosting the children.

“Meanwhile, he was aware the children lived with me before he left Ghana and never complained. A neighbour’s child also accused him of sexual abuse.”

Theresa said she felt betrayed because she did everything possible to ensure her partner enjoyed his stay in the USA.

“I did not only file for him to join me. I also worked more hours so I could get him a car before he came. Later the payment of car insurance became a challenge. He paid no rent or bills orgave money for food for the house.”
