A: Being you made those comments, your mental health will most likely be called into question. Any issues raised by your husband can be dispelled with a mental health evaluation if needed. Understand also that if you do not have a history of mental health issues, when people are breaking up sometimes they say things, sometimes very awaful things, that attorneys will attempt to capitalize on during the divorce. Judges are human too, and they understand that divorces are very emotional and take a toll on people. I would recommend hiring an attorney that understands these issues and knows how to navigate them in a divorce. We have been practicing family law in Central Florida for over 14 year and we offer free consultations.
