Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I need some help developing a plan to leave and the timeline.
I know that I need to start saving cash as I can and putting it in a place that he can't access and does not know about. Wouldn't that look bad in the eyes of the court? Hiding assets?
We're in a lease that is not up until next June/July. It's owned by an independent landlord, not an apartment. What if I called the landlord and asked her about the possibility of letting us out of our lease early for reasons of marital abuse, and I don't feel safe there? Could that be an "out"?
Since it's really expensive out here, especially to live in a decent area with decent schools, is a year unreasonable to try to save cash?
What if I put this cash in an investment account that I had the statements sent to my work? Wait - that would show up on a credit report. That may not be the best option.
When do I speak to and retain an attorney?
I don't necessarily want to stay in the same town I am in now, but my son is about to start school and I don't want to take him out in the middle of the year. I guess I could get out and into a temporary place, but I don't want to have to move twice.
I'm looking for the experiences of others. Please help!!!
