I'm writing this on behalf of a friend who doesn't know where to begin...
She wants to divorce her husband, he is currently in prison for rape (not against her - it is also his second conviction). From memory I think he's been in there for 4 years now, they separated 6 months before the conviction after he committed the offence.
Friend has no/very little money , is there any help available? There aren't any assets but friend does have a pension although I've no idea what that's worth - no idea if he has a pension but doubtful.
Obviously due to the nature of what happened friend is reluctant to have any direct contact with him - there was a history of domestic violence and abuse although this was never reported to the police, obviously friend is feeling VERY vulnerable about tackling a divorce, he is a dangerous man.
Any advice gratefully received!
