Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

How do I proceed

I became both disabled/sick. During this time, he had an affair with one of my best friends. He not only told me about it, but showed me the pictures of what they did and the blogs he has posted on the internet. We have been married 21 years in July and during this period he has abused me physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually. I don't have access to any monies and feel completely trapped. We have 2 teenage boys 19 and 16.

I am hopeful you can give me some answers. Oh...I have never lived on my own or had to support myself.

Re: How do I proceed

Well, my friend, you are going to embark on a new learning journey, on living on your own and supporting yourself. Although there may be difficult times, you will be leaving all of the abuse -- and FINALLY providing a safe home for your children. If he has a job, then you have access to money. You are not trapped. You think you are but you aren't. Contact North TExas Legal Services. Contact attorneys on this site, as many will work payment plans with you. You may be able to get spousal support, and he will have to pay child support. Get busy, you have alot to do today -- good luck to you.
