Q: I am in an abusive marriage, not living together for over a year. What is your average cost for a divorce?
He currently has two domestic violence charges against him, put assures me he is not finished yet. He does drugs and is very violent. He has stolen my car keys and just recently cut my brake line. I now have been given me a camera to put inside my home. I live in a trailer park in Sidney, OH and now the trailer park has issued a restraining order against him. We have a 16 year old son, that he is now being verbally abusive to. My son is afraid of him, as well. Not only am I afraid for my life and tired of being pounded around on, but now I am to the point I am also afraid for my son. My mother purchased the trailer where I live, so that I would have somewhere to get away from him. Now he is starting to crawl thru my bedroom window, the only window that doesn't lock. Please advise. Thank you,
A: If he has DV charges, there should be a protection order keeping him away from you. If he violates it, you can have him arrested. You could also get a civil protection order through domestic relations court against him. Further, you need an attorney in your area to assist you in filling for divorce. Check with the Legal Aid Society to see if you qualify for free assistance.
