US EditionAsking Eric: My father-in-law hired a ‘life coach’ to interfere with my marriage
The father-in-law controls finances and imposes conditions through a life coach, demanding job placement before the husband can return home, affecting the couple's relationship.
- Several years ago, the husband moved from Europe to the U.S. to marry his wife, but after the father-in-law hired a life coach who intervened in their finances, he now lives with his parents in Europe and considers legal action.
- Wife's father had agreed to support them until the husband's work authorization was approved, but a severe mental health crisis left the couple vulnerable and the father-in-law repeatedly raised expectations.
- The life coach hired by FIL warned the wife she would lose financial support if she allowed the husband back, and he was told he couldn't return until he found a job, which took longer than expected.
- The wife has broken off the relationship after the enforced separation, the husband says, and he fears legal action against the FIL and life coach would further alienate her as advisers warn third-party demands strain marriages.
- Multiple advisers note that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services complicated the couple's options, and a lawyer should be consulted to protect rights while acceptance and independent decisions are advised.
