Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have a situation where its become very difficult for me to continue living in the same house as my husband who is verbally abusive and does nothing around the house, I have a 7 yr old son with autism. What are my options? If I file for a divorce what will happen to my son. Who will move out of the house? How long does a divorce take?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 this is a question that has many variables, why dont you consult with a divorce attorney and get an idea? custody can be an issue, you may not may not get full custody if that is what you want, also what would your husband do do you think, fight for sole custody? These are things to consider. I would consult with an attorney, just pay for an hour and see what they say.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 If your husband is verbally abusive would he consider going to counseling. It would be helpful for both of you to go providing he is agreeable. Would he consider taking SAMe (that would help change his mood).

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 So sorry for your situation. There are several options. If money is a problem you can call legal aid. I called Nova's law school and asked them if they knew of anyone doing pro bono, however the person I used from their referral was terrible. You can try UM Law school but again it may be new grads. It can be expensive depending on assets and how much legal time is needed to sort through things. It can take awhile because you will have to go to mediation and a class for divorcing parents. Both parents have to attend this class (not together) as they discuss financial, custodial rights etc. There are many good attorneys out there and a few have been mentioned on this groups list. You might want to go back through the listings to see who has been recommended. It is a tough road ahead, many of us have gone through it and are here for you. I was glad when mine was finally over however I have not had a vacation since, because when my husband was alive he wouldn't even have his child on weekends etc. The important thing to remember is to take care of yourself and your child. I hope you have a supporting family.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 You can also contact Jewish family Services, and NCJW,( I am not sure where you are geographically located, for they have different areas throughout South Fla.) they help with both issues.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 You should also contact Women in Distress. They can be of factual, emotional, and physical help. There are facilities that you and your son can move into, if necessary. Also, JAFCO might be able to help as well. They have facilities also. (All Jewish agencies help anyone, no matter race/religion.) Please make sure you take care of yourself and your child. Keep us posted, if you can. You have tons of support here!! You are not alone.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Women in Distress may be a good place for information, but if you want to move in to one of their facilities, you probably wouldn't be able to take your son. It has been my experience that they do not like men in general. My male partner had to argue to be let on the property when I worked for the police dept.
