A woman and her young children came to the US on a green card. Her husband, a US citizen, was awaiting here. Upon arrival, they agreed to stay with his parents for a few weeks. His parents and siblings convinced the husband behind the wife’s back to stay and help the parents pay their mortgage. He didn’t want to but he was mentally ill and could not handle the pressure so after much coercion, he agreed. When the wife found out, she was beside herself and urged her husband to break the deal. But he didn’t dare to and refused to even talk about it. This was a house where siblings, deadbeat single parents, came and went and dropped off their children as they pleased. The wife was stripped of decision-making authority by these people and was not allowed to have a say about anything that went on in the house. The stress of living there and raising her children there against her will was so overwhelming that she became ill with chronic fatigue and never recovered. When this happened, the siblings, who had been taking advantage of the situation all along, decided that the money the husband had been contributing to the mortgage every month, which was supposed to be a loan to be repaid upon the sale of the house, was going to be simply a gift. This happened a long time ago and any statute of limitations would have run out. But what was the crime of coercing a mentally ill man to make decisions involving the lives of his wife and children and their family income against the wife’s wishes? What was the crime committed against the wife (forcing her to live some place and with certain people against her will and subjugated to their will and decisions all while contributing community property income against her will? For what I’m told, it felt like kidnapping. But it doesn’t fit the legal definition of kidnapping, right? The way the wife describes it, she was kidnapped by these people (not the mentally ill husband who really could make no decisions either way), stripped of privacy and authority and defrauded or robbed. Now, she could have left, but she had nowhere to go. They were getting her family income. What is the term for the actual crime and does she have any legal recourse after two decades based on the fact that she became disabled and had to live one day at a time for years ands was worried about how her mentally ill husband would react if she sued? She had just arrived in the US on a green card when this happened, was legally dependent on her husband and had nowhere to go.
