I am a woman over 40. Seven years ago, I met this man. At that time, I was divorced, and he was not. He is obedient to me. After I was with him, he divorced his wife without hesitation. Before getting married, I only asked him not to hit me.
When he first got married, he really loved me and loved me, but gradually, we had a little conflict. At first, it was just a little bit of a quarrel. Slowly, he even began to attack me, and the attack became heavier and heavier, just like hitting an animal. After hitting me, he laughed and coaxed me. I always weakly forgave him again and again. But I didn't expect that my forgiveness turned into a compromise in his eyes. He trampled on my self-respect time and time again. Now he takes my hard-earned money, eats, drinks, whores and gambles, and often beats me. I couldn't bear to ask for a divorce, but he went crazy, as if he wanted to release a god of wealth, and madly begged me to stay. I refused, and he hit me again.
Now, I just want to get divorced. What's more important is to keep my property and the money I earned hard. Please help me, what should I do? How can we win this lawsuit?
Ms. Zhu:
You are a victim of domestic violence. According to your description, it is still very serious. When one spouse commits domestic violence, he or she can claim compensation at the same time of divorce. If you are determined to divorce, you should first pay attention to collecting evidence in your favor.
The division of property shall be determined according to the nature of the property. Your common property after marriage is legally divided, but because he committed domestic violence against you, you can ask the court to let him make mental compensation for you. The extent of compensation depends on the specific situation.
Your husband is cruel and emotional, and you are always soft and compromise. Your strength may be very weak. I suggest you seek the help of a professional marriage counseling agency. They have rich experience and believe they can help you.
