So I'm 32 and my Brazilian girlfriend is 29. At the age of 5 years old, she was deeply traumatized by the loss of her father. I was told that he died from a heart attack.
Her father was a police officer, and at the time there was a law that protected children of police officers in case something bad happened. My girlfriend receives monthly support of roughly 2000 reais from the government. This has been going on for nearly 25 years now. She has accumulated more than $100 000 (USD) with it and invested all of it in an apartment 2 years ago. If it wasn't for that, her life would have been much more difficult.
The monthly payments of 2000 reais do not seem to be age restricted. But she told me that it stops as soon as she gets married or has a child.
Marriage was never a big deal to me, but it is for her and her mother.
I was wondering if any kind of marriage exists that doesn't interfere with her monthly earnings of 2000 reais (on top of her job salary)
If you apply for a foreign nationality in Brazil, it can take 10 years to complete because the country is disorganized. I really don't know what to expect when a marital status changes. Whether the monthly payments of 2000 reais would stop immediately or only when an individual has investigated the case and manually stopped the payments.
The rule is outdated nowadays, and no longer applies. So maybe nobody would notice?
I'm kind of hoping that when we get married and have a child, nobody in Brazil would notice and take action
