What is the name of your state? MO
I'm requesting info for a friend. She went out of town to visit relatives for the holidays. She returned home and her husband told her he wants a friendly divorce. The husband proceeds to tell her that he has found someone else. He also wanted to inform her that he was having sex in their martial home while she was gone. They were married in 1991.
According to my friend, she got a restraint order/Exparte against her husband. She said that he pushed her down. I know there has been verbal abuse from husband. I have witnessed it. My friend has had a drinking problem for several years. The husband also drinks.
My question here is does she need to seek rehab first or an attorney? She made an appointment with a lawyer, but it is a week away. I think she needs professional mental help now. She can't function and is refusing to eat. She said food makes her sick. She is drinking shots of whiskey. I'm concerned that she will get alcohol poisoning. She only weighs a little over 100 lbs.
She has no family here. I called her Mom. She has lots of reasons why she can't come (excuses). I'm feeling overwhelmed. My friend needs professional help.
