I didnt know if i should start a new thread or keep posting my questions here.
Last night i had to call the police. My husband came home from work and we had an argument. He started acting in a violent manner, throwing things at me, doing embarassing and hurtfull stuff - like putting tomato soup on my head, breaking dishes, emtying garbidge can on the floor. He created a horrible mess and damaged quite a few things, disrespected me by those actions big time. My 11 year old was a witness to all that**************...As soon as the police was called, husband took off and didnt return. And i am sure will not.
We had a domestic violence case about three years ago, he went through anger management and things were good for a while. The case was dismissed back then, with the help of my attorney. I know what consequences of pressing charges are, and when the police came by yesterday they asked me if i want to proceed with the RO and charges. I said that i will think about it and make my decision today.
Any way. My post is not about that. My post is about divorce, which i want. I researched a lot on this subject and found out that in NJ there have to be grounds for divorce. I would file for unusual and cruel treatment - which is what it is, but the last incident has to take place 3 months prior to the filing of the divorce. We have only been married a month, and here comes my question: How can i protect myself from possible debt accumulated by husband while i am waiting for these 3 months in order to be able to file? There is no legal form of legal separation in NJ. What should i do, to NOT be responsible for his debt or actions within these 3 months by the time i am legally able to file for divorce??? Please anyone - give me some advise. I am scheduling a consult with attorney, but if anyone has any insight on what should i do - please help.
BTW - husband disconnected my cell phone last night. My line was on the family plan, and he is the account holder. Can he legally do that?
