A: It sounds like you need to schedule a consultation with a divorce attorney as soon as possible if it is your desire to start proceedings. The parties are required to exchange certain documents during the initial stages of the divorce so you should be able to review information you husband is currently hiding from you or your attorney can compel him to do so. Your attorney will be able to discuss steps needed to be taken to protect you and your daughter’s interest during this difficult time.
