[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok here, I understand he needs visitation, but my question is do I need to get a lawyer or can we work it out informally.

I told him about the apartment and started my grievances but he got very angry, [b]he has hit me 4 times in last 13 yrs,[/b] so I left the room to avoid escalation.[/quote]

You need to go to the Women's Center and get some free legal advice on how to handle this. For one thing, leaving the marital home constitutes abandonment and can impact how things pan out with your financial settlement. However, speaking from experience, if you can't get an agreement that your estranged husband leaves the house instead because of the issue of past abuse, you might be in the clear. My XH moved out because he didn't want the abuse documented.[/quote]

Thanks but the abuse was not now, he hit me in 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2012, so don't think I can use that now as a reason to move out. It was angry slap and not dangerously violent, but is one of my grievances. And obviously he gets into a similar temper outburst so I cannot finish talking in fear like today.[/quote]
