What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
Since filing for my divorce and receiving my husbands counter file I have received his interrogatory answers from my lawyer. He is now saying that while we were together I abandon our children several times, leaving them while they cried to go with me, saying he had to keep them until I got home. I have looked for laws on abandonment and cant find anything that pertains to this. This is going to sound ridiculous but, is it abandoment to leave your kids with thier father while you go the grocery store, or any where for that matter, when your gone 2 or 3 hours? I have never even left my kids over night before we seperated. Im thinking this is just him and his dad trying to bully me and scare me into giving up. Also he stated that because I live in government housing, a rental by HUD, that my home is unsafe. Is it looked down upon to live in government housing? If I had any financial help for our kids from him I may be able to afford something better but while Im financially supporting 2 kids and paying for this divorce I cant.
With these new accusations is there anything for him to stand on? Or is this thier way of trying to scare me into backing down?
