Hi everyone - 22 years of marriage, which includes four years of me trying everything for the sake of the children and society, and parental pressure. For background, I am an immigrant and now a British citizen. I work part-time with a gross salary of £25,000 per annum.
My husband has broken all ties with me: no communication, no financial support for travel or other related expenses—he is fine with the children. The moment I come home from work, he shuts his room door, which has become a ritual. I think, for my own sake, I need to leave this situation, but I have no idea how to proceed. Please, may I request guidance on how to go about separation? I am quite afraid of the unknown, for example, financial insecurity. I do have £25,000 in savings in my bank account. I really want to understand where to find legal support and advice to get started so I get what I genuinely deserve. Three children, all under 16 years old.
I don't want to make an emotional decision and just walk out with nothing. I want to make a rational decision and leave him once I feel financially secure enough. Please share your suggestions and advice. I have no family in this country, so I am feeling a bit lost. Thanks so much.
