As a whole I am safe in my household. Though my H does not make me feel safe if that makes sense.
The local police are aware of my H and his temper. They have been called here before. The woman shelter is aware of my H's behavior because they put myself and my daughter up one night when we were removed from our home.
The hospital had to notify the police when I came in with a back injury from the time my H put me over a coffee table and into a wall. So I am on the local battery registry.
She is scared which is just what he wants
Actually oddly enough I am not scared right now. I have been for the past two years fear and my kids are what made me come back and stay. But as I see it there is nothing he can do to me that is any worse then what I have already been living through by being so cut off from life and being so unhappy. Which seems to have relieved some of the fear that has kept me so paralized. Also my daughter moving out has given me one less person I have to worry about getting caught in the cross fire which has relieved some pressure I have felt to just keep treading water.
Otherwise go find the best around. Can you put the legal fees on a credit card? Worry about the money later. Your H will have to pay half of it anyway.
Why do I need the best lawyer. Other then my kids there is nothing of value for me to fight over. He can have the house and the $1200.00 a month mortgage I don't want it. We don't have much debt other then a few hospital bills are cars are paid off. Just the general every day bills.
North Carolina requires you to be seperated for a year before you can get a divorce. And it has to be a legal seperation. If I can file it myself I won't even need a attorney.
