Hi im new to this board and post on BSSG board..I have finally taken the step and called an attorney to file for divorce..bottom line my H cheated on me several times in 3 years..we have a DS who is 8..my H is verbally abusive to me on a daily basis and i just cant take it anymore plus he has 3 DUIs in 10 years..he still takes son to baseball, etc and has open alcohol in the car..i need advice as to if anyone knows if there is a way that i can ask for supervision for him when he has DS? And also my H wont leave the house until divorce is final..he is refusing to pay any of the household bills and daycare..can i ask for all the back pay in divorce agreement? Attorney hasnt called me back yet but is mailing me the petition..any advice is helpful..thanks

Welcome!


I'd talk to your attorney. If he's a divorce lawyer, he should have some recommendations regarding custody stuff. Otherwise I'd consult a family attorney. You may want to ask about a restraining order. Save receipts for everything and present them. I'm sure something can be worked out.


Kudos to you for finally getting out! Please don't by shy!
