divorce in very near future
| Tue, 05-11-2004 - 2:04pm |
Hi all. It's been awhile since I have been on this board. I really thought I was done with the abuse, but I guess not. My last post was due to the fact of being pregnant by Kevin, the man I left my stbxh for. Well, now since I won't abort, which H expects me to do, I am afraid he will try and take my kids or just screw with me totally. Why can't he just understand that we are over and make things as clean and easy as possible? I have enough to worry about and now this. I know he is gonna stop paying my 5 yr old daycare and there is no way I can afford it since I finally got my own place. I am just so confused. I am gonna call the DV shelter tomarrow and see about starting the divorce process before he can, which will look better on my part. He did finally have to face the music on the DV charge. He got 1 1/2 yrs probation, anger manangment, spousal abuse classes, drug and alchol classes and some other class. He has to pay over $1500 in fines.I just can't afford a lawyer if things get ugly. I know it takes awhile to get child support so I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions???? Christina



Here is a useful website that will help you: www.womenslaw.org
Defines what your legal rights are per the state in which you live.
Also, the DV Shelter can give you some pointers as well, perhaps getting legal aid can help too.
Girley, I know this is a tough time for you.
Peace and hugs,
