I doubt they had a lot of money to go hop over to Mexico every weekend to visit Dad, if they're "surviving" by eating at the SA shelter.

*shrug* I doubt she really felt she had any option emotionally but to stay with him, even if legally she could stay here.
I'm betting she and the kids went with him to Mexico less because they're "in lurve" and more because she has no job skills by which she could support herself and the kids and didn't want them taken by CPS. Besides, when you're used to living on big drug money, welfare just don't cut it.

The point the OP was making, though, is that their schools won't allow her to go because she doesn't speak Spanish. Ours, OTOH, have no such limitation, but probably should. Ditto on work visas.

Blessings,
