      Divorce and Downsizing in Difficult Economic Times

      Divorce is difficult and emotionally taxing, even when the economy is stable.  Added to the already overwhelming financial stress that some families are already experiencing, it can seem like an insurmountable burden.

       

      Divorce and business downsizing have a lot in common.  In both processes the principals involved must analyze their assets and debts, strengths and weaknesses. In both processes honest evaluation, flexibility, organization, and planning are essential in order to have a reasonably acceptable outcome.  In both processes there is anxiety, loss, and finally, a new beginning.

       

      The process is made more efficient, perhaps even a little less painful by a willingness to accept personal responsibility, simplify, economize, and ending relationships (whether business or personal) that are no longer working.

       

      Although emotions are likely to be running high, it is always important to step back and take a deep breath. Having family, friends, and professionals on your side that can be trusted to be honest with you while remaining supportive is important. 

       

      Information gathering is essential.  It is never too soon to gather information and look at all of your options.  This is especially important if you have complicating factors such as a family run business, high assets or a complicated financial picture. 

       

      Divorces can further be complicated by such factors as immigration issues, a child with a disability, or a non-traditional family structure.

       

      A law firm with the expertise to “cross over” into various areas to assist you with the entire picture can make the process easier to handle.

      106-year old Woman Becomes U.S. Citizen

      The news today carried a story of a 106-year-old Chicago woman who became a U.S. Citizen.   Ignacia Moya has realized her dream of citizenship after 40 years in the United States, and says that she looks forward to voting in November! http://bit.ly/dp1dLZ 

      Ms. Moya has been in the U.S. for 40 years, and loves this country.  She had studied for her naturalization exam and tried to learn English, but it was too difficult for her because she has problems with her sight and hearing.  She applied for, and was granted a medical waiver.

      If you have been in the United States legally, are a green card holder, but haven't taken the exam because of problems learning English or problems studying due to age or a disability, you should know the following facts:

      1.  In order to obtain an exemption from both the English language requirement AND from the civics test you must be unable to learn the language or take the civics test due to a medical condition or disability.  A medical certification from a qualified health care provider is needed and form M-648 must be filed with USCIS.

      2.   In order to get an exemption from the English language requirement ONLY, you must meet one of the following situations:

       

      A.                You are age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resided for 20 years or more OR

      B.                 You are age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years.

      You will still have to take the civics examination in your own language.

      3.  You can also request that USCIS make accommodations for your disability during the naturalization process. (this includes interviews).

      Our congratulations to Ms. Moya and her family.  I am sure that her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are proud and happy!

      If you have been a permanent resident for many years, and have not taken your citizenship exam yet, why not apply for naturalization now? Kalish Law Office is available to consult with you, review your situation, prepare your naturalization application, apply for any accomodations or exemptions that you are entitled to receive, and assist you with the process.
