The above posters have given you good information. It would be good to visit the American consulate or embassy to talk to them about what rights you have and what rights your daughter has. If your daughter was born in the USA, she is an American citizen.

If your husband sponsored you to get a green card as part of your marriage, he probably had to sign a Form I-864. This is an affidavit of support, in which he guarantees the government he will support you at a level of at least 125% of the poverty level.

I don't know what your rights are, but it is very important that you find out. There have been cases where a spouse has been stranded overseas and has been able to sue in US federal court and win support. The consulate is a good place to start. Be sure to take passports and I.D. for both you and your daughter.

Your husband's behavior is not normal. If he suddenly decided he wanted to end the marriage, he may be stranding you and your daughter because he does not want to be required by the government to support you and your daughter while you get back into the job market or go back to school to learn how to support yourself.

Please find out what your rights are, if any, and then use them to protect you and your daughter. I wish you the best of luck. As sorrowful as this situation is, I am very glad you at least can stay with your parents. I hope this works out for you.

If the consulate cannot help you, it is essential that you find out immediately what you have to do in order to stay in Germany legally and to get yourself back into the German system of social services and medicine.
