Divorced mamas? I need advice.. I've decided I'm going to leave my mentally abusive husband (idk how or when yet) but I'm terrified of how he'll act when I tell him, or if he'll try to take our daughter from me. Before she was born we agreed if we ever split, custody would be 50/50. However, since she's been born, he has made threats to me during fights that he will do everything he can to keep her from me, and he'll make sure I never see her again, etc etc.
What is the separation/divorce process like, and what are my rights when it comes to our 10 month old?
Ps. I'm in CA.
California is a very pro mom state. What I would do is leave him and make sure you file for a divorce and custody first usually whoever files first *usually* gets primary custody. If you have any evidence of abuse you may be able to file a temporary restraining order and if you add your daughter into it she won’t have to go with dad until the actual custody agreement is set.
Leave while hes at work and file the day before. Thats what i did with my older kids. Even tho i had no job at court i still got custody . Completely leaving with all my belongings while he was at work, i didn't have to face the wrath of his craziness
I left a very rough relationship 4 years ago. He was physically and mentaly abusive. He used to also threat me he would take the kids. But I finaly broke free and now im in an amazing marriage with my now husband and have all my kids. It can be hard but you can do it.
I would talk to a divorce lawyer in Ca. They can help you with your rights for Ca. They usually give you the first hour free to see if it’s even worth taking your case.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I need some advice my ex and I broke up November 27th and we haven't gotten along at all since we have fought almost ever day since we broke up and its about everything but our daughter. Now I have this great opportunity to move to New York with my sister and work in one of the biggest hospitals. He is telling me I can't take my daughter with me when this move can benefit from my kids and me. I've decided I'm going to go means I will be leaving in 2 months. But he's telling me if I leave he will...
Is it weird that I get annoyed at the thought of people helping me when baby is home? People ask me this all the time. My SO and I plan to share night shifts, etc. Am I stubborn? It's our kid so I feel like we can do it on our own👍🏼 lol.
Got into a huge fight with the SO Sunday. He tells me out of frustration that he doesn't care when I tell him I'm tired when I "don't have a job" ig taking care of our daughter an two dogs isn't enough of a job. While I do laundry an crap. An tell me he's tired all the time an he works I don't. An he yelled at me for accidentally knocking over her medicine bottle. An I looked at his phone an he told like 3 people we were done an told his cousin he'd get a lawyer an take her away from me. I can't...
Next time you guys do fight, record him making threats with your phone and use it against him in court.
