I'm so sorry you're going through this, babe.
I imagine him not wanting to wait out the holidays had to do with advice form his lawyer about doing it before the year changes...(?)
Oh, honey, take advantage of whatever help you can get from agencies/volunteer organizations. Check out legal clinics for low-income people, and nearby law schools. Make sure you get ahold of a lawyer who will pay you some attention.
Also ask people you know who got divorces who their lawyers were and were they satisfied with 'em.
God hates divorce, and we should not eagerly rush into one... but that doesn't mean you lie down and let his lawyer work you over without trying to direct things in a way God can be glorified. Like, you may want to fight to get the divorce denied, if such a thing is possible these days. Or, you may want to stick to the (supposedly) old-fashioned pattern of keeping house, kids, everything, keeping the home going, with him leaving if he must, and him being bound by the courts to pay you child support and alimony.
There's a lot to be explored. Unfortunately, all we can do for you here is give you "friend-to-friend" advice.
Fortunately, we can pray for you! That's the one most powerful thing we can do.
Maybe someone who's had a divorce can tell you about the pitfalls they encountered. |
