Re: HELP!!! Dont know what to do...I want out!!
You need to consult an attorney. However, before you have a consult, you should do the following:
1. Obtain a copy of all tax records for the 2 years that you were married.
2. Obtain a copy of records concerning all assets - bank accounts, checking accounts, stock, bonds, etc.
3. Obtain a copy of all records concerning expenses (at lease 2 months worth) - mortgage / rent, telephone, utilities, food, etc.
4. Obtain a copy of all information demonstrating that husband is a level 2 violent sex offender.
You will need this information for a consult and/or representation.
In NYS, you must demonstrate grounds for a divorce. Grounds include abandonment, cruel and inhuman treatment, adultery, prison, and a separation agreement filed for 1 year. Although he has cheated on you repeatedly, more facts are needed to determine if you have grounds for a divorce.
In NYS, to determine child custody and visitation, the Court looks at the best interests of the child. The fact that your husband is a level 2 violent sex offender obviously is a factor, although not the only factor.
