I live in the state of Texas.
My husband was a very successful business man (owned his own company) for 10 years. He got heavily involved in drugs which made a decline in the business & he was forced to sell it. To my knowledge he is off the drugs at this time but has not worked for 15 months. He has been paying our bills from money from the sale of the business but that is depleted now. I work but he has managed to ruin my business by mentally abusing me. We were on my companies cobra insurance plan until he refused to pay the high premium. This week I have found another job but it will take me some time to build up my business again. We have one six year old child & no insurance.
Throughout our marriage we had separate checking accounts. Since he was better at saving than myself, I paid the bills & he saved the money for us. I've never had access to any of his bank accounts. Therefore I never knew how much money we actually had.
My parents paid $21,000 last year for an attorney trying to get me a divorce. Due to my husbands threats, harassment, & my mental state of mind, he talked me into moving back in with him just to stop the madness. We are now both OUT of money except for his 401K plan. He is telling me he will use every penny of 401 K to fight me in court for our child. I have NO money now & can't go back to my parents for help. They are retired & it is not fair for me to spend their retirement money.
I am broke & desperate to get a divorce from this cruel man. I have documented his mental cruelty with my friends, family & previous attorney. I am afraid at this point he will get physical with me. A murderer can get a court appointment attorney. Can a desperate woman get one for a much needed divorce?
PLEASE HELP ME!
