My friend is a SAHM with 4 kids. She has been in the middle of a divorce for months now. She was supposed to go to the Grand court date this week but her husband's lawyer just had emergency open-heart surgery and now they are saying it will have to be postponed until March of next year. The problem is that her soon-to-be-ex won't move out of the house and is using the time to make her life a misery. He is also trying to come between her and the children. If the divorce is this far along, is there no way to make him move out of the house? He says she can just move out but of course she's not just going to leave her children and can't afford to anyway. It's already been decided that she will get the house when the divorce is final. Does anyone have any advice? Her lawyer seems to be of the opinion that she just has to deal with this for another 6 months.
Sounds like she needs another lawyer. What a mess.
Maybe she can make HIS life a misery and he'll get sick of it/her and move out.
But also - after divorce is final, will she remain a SAHM? Maybe she should start looking for a part time job (maybe when the kids are in school?) so she won't have to be at home dealing with the man 24/7.
Her lawyer should be able to get a temporary order for everyone to go by until the final trial. I can't understand why this wasn't done already...
I know an awesome divorce attorney, she could call for a consultation....Annette Burns ###-###-####. I'm not divorced but my husband has an ex-wife and we go to her for consultations every now and then. She's in Phoenix on Central but she's worth the drive.
her lawyer can go to court and make a plea for him to have to get a new lawyer. your friend should not have to wait for her divorce becuase of his lawyers illness. she can't make him move until the court orders are all in place.
Mom , I know this sounds ugly, but can you hjave your friend get the house and her car locks changed while he is at work? I'd ask her lawyer if she can do this and tell him he needs to get another attorney, she is not waiting. Time to play hard ball. Hope this works.
