Hello dear forum members.
I have a serious issue of which I believe no one has an answer to. Some lawyers may have one, but money its a big issue for me.
I married a US Citizen in 2003 in California. The same year our son is born. The hospital notified me that my wife had traces of Meth in her blood at time of my son's birth which indicated that the fetus had been expossed for some time to that drug along with her heavy smoking. I used to work in another city at the time with a daily 2-hr commute, which kept me away most of the day to know what she was up during her pregnancy. She used to be absent a lot for a couple of days at a time in those days.
Soon after my son's birth I took her to Court, along with CPS on my behalf and obtained Sole Legal Custody of my son. By the way, my son and I still are togeter and alone without her since.
After the judge's decission she just vanished possibly due to the criminal charges she had to face and have not seen or hear from her.
Because of our sudden separation between my wife and I, my immigration status was never started, therefore I remain married with sole-legal custody of my now 6 year old boy and still I am not allowed to work, drive a car, open bank accounts, travel, etc... you can imagine how difficult life can be for me.
I don't receive any form of child support or help from her or her family and the government doesn't believe my son deserves much help based on my legal status either.
MY QUESTION IS: "ITS MY SITUATION REALLY HELPLESS?"
We have been separated 5 years now and I remain with my son's full legal custody (and will likely remain that way for many years to come). I love my son more than anything in this world & know in my heart that whatever the laws are doing to my innocent 6 year old are unethical & unfair. I am fed up of struggling month after month, year after year, and of having to watch over my shoulder. I also don't happen to have any family in this country, but I must remain together to continue providing a decent life for my beloved little angel, for whom I happen to live my life. Think about it...We spend our time together 24-7 without anyone else around. My son doesn't know what a "mother" is about because he only has been with me since he was a baby. I don't have a social life, don't drink, don't smoke. We run errands together, play at the park together just about every day. I am a true "stay at home full time dad". (I will do anything to protect my child's safety and feelings).
Any suggestions will be appreciated. At the present time I am trying to move to Florida with hopes of a new life with my son, but I still can't find a way to obtain a Driver's Licence under the circumstances I am.
PLEASE HELP![]()

, so, the two of us must remain trapped in this country...
and that sound just ridiculous, but try changing their mind! All of this its not fair to my son!
