Divorce - Why is it so difficult ?
Notifications OFF
I left my husband just over three years ago & five years since my house was raided & consequently he was on trial & convicted of sharing images of teenagers on line. I stayed in the family home until is conviction for the sake of my two boys. Post conviction with no jail sentence & with his mental abuse of him saying it was my fault I left the family home for my own sanity. My question is three years since I have started divorce proceedings & £6k later I am still in the position that he continues to delay & be diffucult in the process of settling our divorce. How come I & my children are victims & it feels in the legal process he holds all the cards ? Maybe I have the wrong solictor ? I have forced him in to a court date. How come I feel like the law is not on my side ? How come I have spent £6k so far with no outcome because he ignores evevery communication. Am very worried for women in my position who don't have jobs finance to be able to try & move on. Any advice welcome - thankyou.
