Question

  Posted to group - What do i do now    <<Previous    Next>>

Any advice??

I appologize if this is not the right forum for this question.  I filed for divorce and my husband changed the locks on our home of 4 years.  He then verbally evicted me and advised that I would be arrested if I can back to the property.  I have since moved into my parents home along with our two minor children.  Since he is in the military and my attorney has advised that this could take a long time (months/years)because of classes the military sends him to.  I have found a house that I can afford on my salary.  I also located a 100% financing loan that will be in my name only.  So my question is will I have to sell the home once we actually go to court?  It will not have equity for years but I am unsure on the maritial property thing.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I really don't want to continue to stay in my parents home.  Also he will not let me remove any of the items (furniture/kitchen items) I purchased before the marriage from "his" home.  I have receipts and pictures of the items in a home I lived in before we met so its not even a situation were he could try to claim he owned them.  Any suggestions?  Not that it matters but I filed for divorce because he was meeting women/couples for sex off of adultfriendfinder.  I guess I just don't understand why he is angry with me it should be the other way around.  Thanks.

You need to tell your lawyer to file a motion in family court.  Your husband cannot have you arrested for being on the property of your own home unless he has a restraining order against you.

I would file a motion asking the court to award you temporary child support and alimony. I would also have your lawyer ask that you be able to return to your home and retrieve your belongings.

Your soon to be ex is a bully and it sounds like your lawyer is not taking any action. You are entitled to receive child support for your kids and they can garnish his wages if he refuses to pay.

 

Good luck.

I would rent an apartment.  Or if you don't like apts, rent a house.  That way you can weather any surprises the divorce throws at you. I would ask your lawyer about the old house, you should be able to get in.  Depending on your state, you're still married, it should be joint property. 

I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation, We're here to listen and to help.
