Why isn't he stepping up and asking his parents to take the pics down? It's out of respect for you and him
Would you be upset?
My in laws still have pictures of my husband and his ex wife hanging jn their house. I cringe everytime I see them, but I truly hate this woman with a passion. Maybe I am being petty but they have no children, yet she always calls him for money even after being divorced for five years. She won't get a job. She tells me that because she got a visa to come here from the philipines when they got married, even though they're divorced he still has to support her for ten years. So not only is our money still taking care of her, her jobless boyfriend, and her baby, but I also have to see her face everytime i go to my in laws. Maybe it is my pregnancy hormones, but it is super upsetting. Would anyone else be upset?
Oh and the pictures are from their reception. Not one picture of us are up on their walls. And as for the money thing, she got to keep two vehicles in the divorce agreement, there was no alimony.

Tell your husband to ask his mother to take them down, its his place to say something.. I don't understand why he still has to support her! Is that really the law???
Ka
Yes because he sponsored her to get her visa he agreed to be financially responsible for her for 10yrs
Ki
that's what I don't get, I highly doubt that he needs to support her for 10 years.
Sa
Money.
Talk to his parents about putting up a photo of the two of you. Or just gift them a nice framed one and see if they put it up. If they are still friends with her then that may be why they left it up. Or maybe they never look at their photos and just forgot they had it up. And yes, when you sponsor someone for a visa, you are responsible for their financial state for 10yrs, even if you have a falling out. It's basically "you want them here? you pay for them."
Ke
That is from when the Visa starts though right? So not 10 years after the marriage dissolves?
Li
To the people who don't understand why he's paying her, go read up on the laws surrounding visas. He sponsored her to get her in, that comes with legal paperwork about your financial responsibilities for that person for 10yrs. It has nothing to do with just being married. It's all having to do with the legal spaghetti that comes with visas and sponsoring.
