To establish eligibility for lawful permanent resident status, the petitioning U.S. citizen spouse or parent of a parolee must file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, or in the case of certain widow(er)s and their children, parolees must file Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant.

In Texas, abandonment is a fault-based ground for divorce, requiring a spouse to voluntarily leave the marital residence for at least one continuous year, with proving abandonment demanding a nuanced approach, particularly when considering emotional absence and sparse contact.
