A: You MUST hire a lawyer to assist and guide you, as if you handle this wrong you and he are BOTH going to end up in jail. Battered Spouse Syndrome accounts for changes such as what you are talking about and the best intentions will actually harm your BF. DO NOT try to DIY this, or you are accepting dramatic risks.
