Yes! A parent of a child abused by an LPR or USC parent may self petition or apply for cancellation of removal under VAWA, if she/he is the spouse of the abusive parent. The non-abused parent can also include other children as derivatives, even if the children are not related to the LRP or USC abuser. (INA §204(a)(1)(B)(ii)).
