What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
ok, so i know to start w/a lawyer. thats on thurs. but i'd like to get an idea now of what to do and how to start.
been w/husband for 5 yrs. married for 2 w/2 boys ages 4 and 1. this is a domestic violence situation that has been ongoing and i can no allow it to continue. in the begining i was not a perfect angel but as time went on, and it got worse, i tried to deescalate/avoid fights instead of adding to the fire. last fight was on sat. he was arrested, i filed charges and i got a protective order.
however, allready i grow weak. i dont want to ruin his future w/an assault charge. i dont want to be a 'bitch' during the divorce but i dont want to be taken advantage of. and he's so off and on. one minute i can have everything, the next he's going for full custody of the kids. i want this to be as amicable as possible (and as cheap as possible)
questions:
`i worry about him properly watching the baby during visitation if its standard.
`we bought a vehicle but its only in his name and my parents gave me a car thats paid off and its in my name
`we have a timeshare (what a scam, i know). absolutely no clue on that one.
`all credit cards in his name. 50/50 right?
`aquired student loans while together but before legally being married. 50/50 hopefully!
`our home is owned my parents and we are like renters or 'rent-to-owners' and are responsible for all expenses
`pets??
`the 'big' stuff like tv, game systems, and computer, he says he wants bc paid for by his credit but i have a job and make almost as much as he does.
`do we both need seperate lawyers
`anyway to prevent from 'stealing' stuff if he violates the protective order?
any advice will be appreciated. i'm sure there are some hard truths, but if they could be gently disclosed, that would be extra appreciated! What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
