My husband just said “know your place” in an argument I'm absolutely fuming..

then followed it by saying your a “housewife and a mum”

WTF..

his family have meddled a lot lately and he then becomes distant towards me..

How to see a divorce lawyer with no means of paying them?

We have a joint account only. I guess I would have to use that.

mum aware the position I have found myself in isn’t ideal and makes me dependent- many lessons learned here

Some will do half an hour first appointment free.

Here Women's aid has a one stop shop with solicitor, benefits officer etc one day a week; you could check out if WA anywhere near you do.

Some solicitors may take fees out of settlement.

Some may do finance.

You're married.

It could be a lot worse.

Could anyone on your family lend you the solicitor money if you can't get a free first app and you pay them back.

What a pig. Have you tried talking to him about this when you’re not arguing?

Play the long game, finish your training, save some money. Leave when it suits you.

You deserve better than that. I'm glad you're taking the steps to leave.
Solicitors cost so much. I don't understand why sometimes, it's not right. Although having a solicitor is great, I couldn't keep mine (both lack of funds and mine was not very good at getting things/moving in the divorce), so I had to use whatever resources I could find. See if maybe these might help you cut down on costs. Use mumsnet as there's a lot of good advice here and you can get answers to questions you have rather than asking a solicitor first. Same with facebook divorce groups, I joined a bunch and they offer great advice there - they might be able to point you to where you need to go to get some more help.
I also used this - https://iamlip.com/ - it's a bunch of free help guides that take you through the entire process. I used it without a solicitor which worked for me as I just followed the help guides and read the explanations/guidance on the website about the things I didn't understand, but my friend used it and had a solicitor too. She just used the help guides to do a lot of it herself e.g. filling out forms rather than asking her solicitor do it and saved a lot. Hope these suggestions can help!
Wishing you the best xxx

You need to say, 'Know your place. If you speak to me like that ever again, you'll be my ex'. And mean it.

This.

Tbh, I know

it’s very sad to think of my son here in the middle of this.. in past arguments my husband said he would never leave The family home that he reminds me he bought so I guess I would have to.. very unsettling and emotional turmoil for a 5 year old

but yes I’m aware it is heading that way sooner than I imagined

You do know that it's a marital asset?

Get yourself to a solicitor pronto

Mmhmmn · 21/09/2023 00:10

OMG I’ve just seen this

“He has also told me in the past that I should be grateful as he has pulled me up into the middle classes”

He thinks he’s better than you!! WTAF OP.
