psychologist court order

[AdriftAbroad1]

Pleased about this as it means it is nearly over. H has refused to divorce me and has at the same time locked me and DD and all our posessions out. (ie has all our things)

Has been since prosecuted for DV. I filed for divorce. My priority is DD.

DD is 15. He has requested we have a meeting with court appointed psychologist (good!) but, what can I expect? Anyone know?
(Obvs he is saying I am crazy/alcoholic etc)

DD not seen him for three years and he has not tried to contact her.

20 year marriage.He wants me destitute. 20 years older than me. I am 50 with no pension.

Any advice so welcome. Layer is legal aid. Kind but I sense inexperienced with this sort of man.

Everyone has been amazing!
Thank you so much.

This is a bit confusing. Are you working at all? Can you just rent your own place instead of living in one of his flats? Eventually everything will be sorted but until then, you would be much better off living in your own flat rather than "his"

Did you ever consider that you could get one of those small flats plus half the value of the house?

I'm not sure if this might help but if he's hiding all the assets, you can always try and get a freezing order to stop assets getting depleted or gotten rid of? I read that here - https://iamlip.com/financial-terms-financial-court-orders-explained/
If you don't want to do that though and just want to focus on the house that's fine but you should make sure the asset split is fair to you too x
Also one thing I saw friend do when they were locked out of their house (jointly owned) was get their solicitor to write a letter stating that my friend would be re-entering the property on a certain date as they had rights on it too (if you don't have any, maybe look into this https://iamlip.com/you-and-your-matrimonial-home-rights/) if you want to go back in and get your things.
You can also get police to escort you to get your things although sometimes that's not a guarantee depending on how cooperative the police are.
Also if you're not confident with your solicitor maybe check out some of these free help guides I used, they might be able to help give you more information with what you can do xxx I couldn't afford a solicitor so I used this https://iamlip.com/

@Anita848 that is incredibly kind, thoughtful and useful.Thank you very much.

Full custody!

@AdriftAbroad1 didnt see those deleted replies so ignoring them, can I assume you are saying you got full custody of your DD? This sounds like very good news.

Never heard of this. Are you in the USA?
