Q: In the state of Kentucky what is the law on abandonment?
Im needing to know what my options are, I got with my husband in 2020 and he knew that my health was bad and he was fine with supporting me and even insisted on me not trying to work that I try and apply for disability so I'm still fighting for that currently. I depend on him for absolutely everything. I have no family or friends at all to help me, my dad passed away 2 years ago December and things has continued to get extremely worse. He keeps checking accounts from me, I have no idea about anything to do with the finances. If I need something he goes to the store. He never hands me cash anymore at all. This last march he moved out and went to his dad's which is still on the same property just at the end of the driveway. He was buying groceries every Saturday but now I literally have to beg him to buy necessary food stuff and he cusses me over it. We don't have kids but we do have 8 dogs. Which now I'm having to take care of completely alone. He has became more abusive the last year i
A: It doesn’t sound like abandonment but it does sound like you need to separate from him. There are a number of services that can help you financially once you are away from him. It’s tough to be faced with this anytime, especially silly if you are ill, but the time to make a new start is now.
