What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ephrata, Pennsylvania
First off im trying to find information for my sister in laws sister who lives in Ephrata PA in a Amish Community But is NOT Amish nor do they practice it or dress like it.
Currently she is married with 3 kids and her husband who has cheated on her and has moved out to his girlfriends house across the street has told her
1- she can not leave the house because he will change the locks
2- if she visits her family in NY he will call police and have her arrested for kidnapping
3-she cant divorce him because according to Amish law the man owns everything
House, furniture, the children as per what she was told by him.
4- She and the kids will get money for food when he feels like giving it
5- he could care less about the children he likes being in control
6- if she leaves the house for any reason he will change the locks
She is a prisoner in her own home and he has cut off her cell phone and Email accounts.
Im just trying to get information to pass along to her if what she was told is wrong she has no money for a attorney and cant leave the house to speak to one nor does she know any
Can anyone help or point me in a direction? as i said they live in a Amish Community but thats the extent of amish they were both born and raised in NY and moved to ephrata about 4 yrs ago he her husband is a garbage man who spends all his earnings on himself and could care less about if his kids or wife have food, shelter or heat.
I feel if i can find out if what she was told was wrong it might help her make the push to contact a attorney there in ephrata
