[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry. I had no money and simply moved out of the house for safety reasons. I did get beat up a few times as I went back at his invitation and to see the child. Moving out and not seeing my kid was still better than living in the abuse. He had pulled a gun on me and more. I hope yours is not as bad.
I went about it without a lawyer or spending any money as I had none. I also never got the free legal help everyone talked about. The need was simply to grand. I wasted so much time and had hope going from one legal clinic to another. Judge made it all quite fair in the end.
Court did not held it against me that I moved out. It was not my house.They seemed sure I had my reasons. No mother leaves their kids voluntarily.
Cannot give advice as I'm glad I even survived. My second partnership, I left that child behind again. The reason I left my kids behind both times was their safety and my own. I got so much crap for that. My safety was mostly at stake with first marriage, and my kid's safety was at stake with my partnership had I dared to fight for DC.
So much of it depends on how much your DH wants to fight. I didn't fight at all. Judge was pissed at him for arguing. 
My partner ended up killing himself as I simply didn't engage. So, I never got to go to court to ask to see my kid.
It's such a mess altogether unfortunately. It's like both thought having the kids gave them power. Not so fast, but it takes time to get them back.[/quote]
