Q: What should a woman with little to no money do to set boundaries between her and her current husband?
Her husband has taken her daughter and claims she is on drugs. I can not confirm or deny that allegation. All I know is if she was I didn’t notice it. Her husband isn’t currently in probation, however he has quite a long list of convictions. I could go on and on but I just want to know what she needs to do to protect herself and start to move on.
A:
Encourage your friend to keep a detailed record of any incidents involving her husband's behavior, including dates, times, witnesses, and any threats or intimidation. This documentation can be crucial in seeking legal protection or restraining orders. and your friend communicates clear boundaries to her husband regarding acceptable behavior. This may include limiting contact, avoiding certain topics, or requiring supervision during interactions with her daughter.
Your friend should consult with an attorney to understand her legal rights and options regarding her daughter, custody, and protection from her husband.
