Staying married but not living together?

[WhatAmIsupposeToDoNow]

Husband is currently on bail due to DV situation after a mental breakdown. I moved out of family home. I haven't come to terms of getting divorced yet and will obviously have to see him because of DD. Staying married while living separately? Could this work? Am I being unreasonable even thinking about it?

Why would you want to? What would be in it for you?

Why would you want to stay married to a man who is on bail for dv towards you? Show your dd what happens when a man is violent towards you.

Are you afraid of his reaction if you go for a divorce?

If not, why would you stay married to an abuser. I see you have left the family home anyway.

Why, I'm intrigued. I'm sure there's a valid reason in there somewhere, like he will be rehabilitated or something. He won't.

No it wont work. Yes you’re being unreasonable to consider it.

He’s a violent abuser with mental health issues. Have you got a solicitor? You need a non molestation order and residency of DD.

I dont know your financial situation BUT

So long as you are married you remain financially linked that means if he doent pay the mortgage/rent on the matrimonial home you are liable for it. Similarly if you come intl some money in the future he could make a claim against it.

Get divorced and a financial order asap to protect yourself if nothing else.

Thanks for all your replies. I think I haven't come to terms that my marriage is over. The DV mainly happens due to drinking only. I know what I need to do but can't uite come to terms with it just yet.
