What is the name of your state? Arizona
I am in the process of filing out my divorce papers. I am still living under the same roof as my soon to be ex-husband because of financial issues. I cannot afford to move out on my own yet. I have a 5 year old son, and my husband is making this process of divorce extremely difficult. He has had me under his thumb since we have been married (10 years) and is not only controlling, but a very angry bitter person. I have concerns about my sons welfare, and although I have told him he can see him whenever possible, anytime he wants after the divorce.
After my son gets out of school this summer he was planning a trip with him for a week, now he says he is taking him for 2...he wants me to move out of the house as soon as possible after I told him I was going to take a vacation of my own while he and my son were gone. I would be traveling with a friend, and he told me "NO, You may not..."
My question is, do i need to file for a separtion before I file for divorce, and if so, is there any way, without hurting the relationship between my son and his father, to set up a temorary parenting schedule. If so, does he have the right to tell me what I can and can't do on my own time until we become legally separted or divorced.
I can't live like this much longer, but have limited alternatives.
Please help, anyone.
