Hi - I’m looking for advice to help my sister. She wants to divorce her husband who is emotionally abusive and very controlling. Far too much to go into here.
I’m going to her first solicitor appointment next week - what are some of the key questions she should ask?
She is an emotional wreck right now so I need to be prepared and really I have no idea where to start.
For background they have been married for 20 years and have two children (both 11+). She gave up work when she had the children. He never wanted her to work. I want to make sure she has a solicitor who wi aggressively fight her corner (I expect he has hidden assets and he is already getting very nasty as couples counselling shows she is no longer going to put up with his abuse and it’s clear he will never change.)
Any advice on how I can help her through this and make sure she has the right lawyer would be a huge help. Hopefully she will soon move into angry mode but right now is still dealing with the realisation of what she’s been going through all these years.
