I live in South Carolina. My husband and I have been married for a little over 8 years and in Feb. of this year he packed up and abandoned me and my 2 children.. the children are now 9 and 11 but are not his.. he has raised them from the time my youngest was 2 months old.
I cant really afford an attorney right now.. I went today to try and get a restraining order, but since he has not threatened my life or bodily harm, they cant get me one.. Him threatening to damage my home and car wasnt enough.
Is there some way that I can keep him away from here since we ARE still legally married? I do have proof he has been gone since Feb.. and the home is in my name. He has already taken all of his belongings from here.. and has already bought a place supposedly about 20 miles away.
Is there some type of divorce I can go through because of these conditions? to get it over with?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
