Re: Controlling husband

Get everything ready especially financial documents. The state you live in determines a lot of what will happen. See a lawyer.They will hid money. I found 127000in cash in a trunk of a old car in the garage. Do this smart! Once he knows it will not be pretty. Don’t count on him to be fair

Re: Controlling husband

I would do a little planning for your benefit, unless it’s dangerous for you to stay. Once he finds out, he could hide money, change the title to your house and cars. Don’t trust him to be ‘fair’ during this. They never are. I have never worked during our 21 year marriage, I raised our children and as soon as I told him I filed for divorced he stopped his pay from going into out joint account. I retracted the divorce, for now! When I file again, I will not tell him before hand. I learned that lesson and that is a mistake I will not make twice. Best of luck.

Re: Controlling husband

I will
Thank you for your information

Re: Controlling husband

When you filed for divorce, were you a little afraid for your safety? Did you have a place to live before you told him? I've told mine that I needed space (depressed) and now I think I want to divorce. He knows where I'm staying.

Re: Controlling husband

I am kind of afraid how he will react , I do have a place to stay with my brother for now and I am not planning to tell him and neither my brother will not let him know that I am there .

Re: Controlling husband

Depends on his personality. Some men you can talk to and some you need to take percaution. If he is a narsisist, do it behind his back. Get all your personal items that you feel are important so he want tear them up. When you are ready to serve him the papers be long gone or move in with parents.
