Q: I want my kids and my house I don’t deserve this he does
i I have been with my husband 15 years married ten. The last two he started being abusive and I filed for a protective order against him. He didn’t obey the orders so I left the house and tried to get on my feet starting at the bottom. I got a 1 bd apt and he won’t let me see the kids he says my apt is too small. I tried to do the right thing with (I thought) because he convinced me that I have no right to anything. I failed miserably and he got my kids to not talk to me . It’s not fair. He should have left. I tried to make it less difficult for our kids. I didn’t want their dad going to jail but he would not stop and now I have lost everything
A:
I'm sorry to hear about your difficult situation. In cases of domestic violence and child custody disputes, it's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of both you and your children. You have rights in this situation, including the right to seek legal help.
You may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to discuss your options. They can help you understand your legal rights, guide you through the process of obtaining a protective order, and advise you on pursuing custody arrangements that are in the best interests of your children.
Document any evidence of abuse, violations of protective orders, or any interactions with your husband that may help your case. Remember that seeking legal assistance can provide you with the guidance and support needed to protect your rights and work towards a resolution that prioritizes your children's safety and your well-being.
