HOW CAN I GET A DIVORCE IF MY HUSBAND DOESN’T LET ME WORK OR MAKE MONEY?

QUESTION: I am being mentally abused by my husband and not allowed to work to make my own money. What money my husband makes is all his. How am I supposed to get out of this situation? You have to have money to do anything. I am not happy and cannot live like this any more I do not wish to be dominated over.

MY RESPONSE: Unless you and your husband had a prenuptial agreement that made your husband's income his own separate property, the money that he earns is community property, and what it purchases is community property. You should interview experienced Family Law Attorneys in an effort to find and retain one to represent you in your divorce and to seek an early attorney's fee order against your husband to fund the litigation. If you can’t locate such an attorney, go to your local Superior Court’s self-help clinic to learn how to file and proceed with a divorce and how to seek and get a filing fee waiver from the Court.
