How to Safely Divorce An Abusive Husband
It’s important that you recognize your own ability to make decisions for yourself and seek a divorce. If you’ve been abused, it’s understandable that you may not feel capable of making this decision, but you can, and you don’t have to ask your husband for permission to leave him.
Before you mention anything to your husband about the divorce, it’s important that you create a plan to have somewhere to go. This should be somewhere your husband doesn’t know about and won’t look for you and somewhere you can safely live and get to work. The transitional housing program is a good option for temporary housing and support services.
For your safety, it’s recommended that you consult an attorney before notifying your husband of your plans. An experienced attorney can help you create your plan to leave safely.
Counseling is not directly relevant to the legal process of getting a divorce, but in order to allow yourself to process, heal, and recover from an abusive marriage, it is a good idea. An experienced divorce attorney can help connect you with other services that can help you transition out of an abusive relationship towards a safer, healthier, and happier life.
