Husband re writing the story - money

I’ve finally woken up to the fact that I need to leave my husband. I’ve had multiple instances of cheating on nights out or business trips, often at times when I needed him most…weeks after childbirth and after marriage. I always tried to work through it but time I grew a little stronger through therapy and said that if he didn’t do the work, I was gone, he showed up to 4 therapy sessions and shared location with me etc but it felt like a tick box exercise. He soon pulled out of therapy as he said he didn’t need it. He continued to heavily drink, be disrespectful and made mr question my own sanity. A day out with him and the kids is an egg shell type event, which person will we get. The recent discovery was the messaging of escorts. He lied until I discovered more and even told me I needed therapy to get over my distrust and control issues. I agreed that I needed to let it go…and then I found the evidence. No evidence of him actually using one but the message to say he was outside…he said he never went in and the money was still in his wallet.

After that I stepped back and observed his actions rather than words. He would start arguments to go to the pub and dislikes many people I know and criticises them. This is the tip of the iceberg to be fair and there have been lots of things happen that I just don’t understand/can’t comprehend why, we have a lovely home and beautiful children and all the components for a lovely life,

Anyway tonight, as he is due to leave our home soon, he starts to say I’ve been stealing from him and he wanted to see all the accounts. He is analysing every purchase and saying he never agreed to it. (He did). I’ve asked him many times to manage and be involved in the finances and he always declined to have any involvement so I sort all the bills etc. I booked a girls holiday a while back (agreed by him) and he is now saying I owe it all back. It’s like he has flip reversed the script and forgot that the reason we are splitting is because he has lied and cheated his way through the relationship, He is now talking of withdrawing all the money from our account even though he left himself with 1k free spends. My head is fried and not sure what to do here.

If it’s not too late to cancel the boob job, then I suggest doing so. It’s not the best use of money right now.

Swearing and aggressive language can also be a form of abuse. There doesn’t have to be physical violence. If he is causing you to be afraid, that is a basis for calling the police.

I have some experience of non-molestation orders and occupation orders. Without physical violence there is more or less no chance of getting an occupation order, however you may be able to get a non-molestation order which regulates how he speaks to you. If you contact the NCDV, they can assist you with this and put you in contact with someone who will help you draft the application and evidence in support.

Ah sorry. I think I’m confused. I thought an occupation order was re who has what money and the details of the divorce. I’m clueless obviously!

An occupation order is for who can stay in the house whilst divorce is going through if there is a good reason such as abuse/DV that means you can’t live together but you can’t get the other party to leave. A financial order is what lays out the terms as to who gets what in the divorce

I’m a bit worried to do this as then he is likely to say he won’t pay the child maintenance and half of the mortgage as we had agreed. He is saying how can I need the money when I’m someone money on lavish things like a girls trip away, however I booked that when we were still together so the situation was different.

But he will never keep to any agreement. He will say what us convenient then forget it. Or find a reason that its your fault he can’t follow through. He is not an honorable person
