What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
1-I have an order of protection on my husband (okay the third one) but he is an alcoholic and not only abuses me verbally, physically and mentally he also abuses my child (not his from a previous marriage)
2-I know the divorce will not be easy as it will be contested, he wants what is his and half of mine....I say since together from 1997 living and married from 2001 i believe he does not get half of mine and none of his..in ny being an equitable state, but all bills that were racked up since marriage do get split correct?
3-i have lots of proof also like saving home from foreclosure and i have also added things to this house, I do not want to have to just walk away....
if you have any advise, please help and especially if a divorce can be started when the order of protection has not been started...(two court dates, then moved to a Domestic Violence court only had first appearance today) He did brake order in first hour of being served.
