Well, my problem is very complicated, but I really could use some advise.

I've been married for 5 years, 2 children 3 and 1 years old. I'm not a U.S. citizen, but my wife is, and we live in Arkansas. We decided on me looking for a better job. Well I got an offer over in Europe, my native country and we both decided on taking it. I would move for about 6 months before the rest would move over. Well, as soon as I started the job (and signed a $50.000/5 year training bond) my wife voiced her opinion that she really didn't want to move anymore. Things have turned very sour since. I live in Europe now, committed and she lives with the children in Arkansas, with her mother.

She has been mentioning the Divorce word more and more often lately, and I've never really thought in that direction. But now she wants a legal split, have me sign away my paternal rights over to her. And she wants full and sole custody. But tells me that I could come visit anytime I want to, and that she'll send pictures often etc. etc.

Well, I am actually starting to believe that I might not have any rights anymore, with her talking like that, and me not being a citizen living in Europe. I might be able to keep the job and live in the U.S. soon enough, but need to get my feet grounded first before I wil be able to.

Is there any jurispedence on sortlike cases? Do I actually have rights where my children are concerned? I know I will need a good lawyer, but haven't been able to get anywhere using the internet yellow pages either.....


Thank you very much for your time, and sorry about the lengthy post.....
