I need some advice please.
BACKGROUND:
I sponsored my first husband from the Caribbean when I was very young (and naive about the entire process). His two teenage children from a previous marriage were also enlisted in that application. They all received permanent residence in 2006. Due to his relentless physical abuse we eventually divorced. :' When the police and CAS got involved I knew I had to protect myself and the young children that we both shared. I eventually found the courage to call the police after a terrible beating that occured when I was pregnant and he finally moved out with his 2 teenage children. They moved into his mistress' apartment ------- while I struggled for years in court to get child support for the 3 children that we shared together. (At the time my biologial children with him were all under the age of 4).
My first husband eventually married his mistress & they continue to live a very lavish lifestyle (taking extended vacations in Europe, the Caribbean, and the US , driving a $60,000 SUV--- all while reporting an income of $12, 000 to the family court office. (Thankfully, my fantastic lawyer was able to prove this in court & his income was imputed to pay extra child support).
QUESTION:
Five years later I married the love of my life
who is also overseas. I am in the process of sponsoring him but I want to know if my application will be turned down based on financial obligations that I still have to my first husband's two children. (They are now in their late teens). 
Thanks for any advice!
