I was born in America, and my father filed for a green card using my name when I was 22. I live with my parents, but I am estranged from my father. He's a toxic and verbally abusive man. I plan to move out and cut ties with him as soon as possible. My main concern is the financial responsibility of a U.S. sponsor for a immigrating permanent resident. I have no idea what paperwork was filed. A lawyer was involved who did all the work. I did some research and it seems like it's the Form I-864. I know he receives Social security/Medicare benefits right now. If he dies before becoming a U.S. citizen or he commits a crime, am I legally responsible for him in any way - his debt, benefits, etc.? I despise him and absolutely want nothing to do with him. I am trying to reach the lawyer, but I do not trust him or the lawyer. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
