Hey moms, my dad is a creep. Alcoholic, abusive, cheater, you name it, he's done it FOR YEARS!! My mom is FINALLY ready to get out, (they've been married for 37 years!) it's been hard for her. She's not a strong female, and she's been with him since she was 14, she's been beat over the head by him for so long she has no confidence whatsoever, so please don't pick on her too much, I've already thought to myself anything you could say about her, for sure!! We need a good attorney,(we'd rather not randomly pick one out of the phone book) and basically, we were just wondering how it works? Like, can she make him leave the house, can he just take all their money and run, what do she do to live in the meantime if he DOES take all their money....etc. Just as much info on how it works, what ya'll know about what her rights are, would be SO APPRECIATED!! We are about to get the ball rolling, but we both are just scared to death of what may happen. (he's a scary mean man) ANYTHING at all ya'll could share would mean an awful lot to both of us.....

Thanks in advance!!!

What can I do next?

Go to the Houston Area Women's Center - they have services to help protect women who leave abusive spouses. Be very careful because while it is good that your mom is finally leaving, this is the most dangerous time when someone leaves the person who abuses them. Don't do it on your own. The Women's Center can help get restraining orders, a safety plan, legal help, etc. in place to help do this in the most safe way possible. If he is abusive she needs to make a police report, but please get the support from a Battered Women's Shelter to help protect yourselves.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
