[quote=Anonymous]What should a woman do if her husband refuses to give her a divorce (due to his desire to hold "power" over her and to hurt her).  Meanwhile she is stuck in a very unhealthy marriage, living in the same house as him (and 2 children).  If she leaves the house she will never see the children as he will  withold them from her.  If she leaves the house and takes the children with her then her husband and his parents will take her to court for custody and they will get the children, she'll never see them.  They have lots of money and she doesn't have much.  She left in April with the children and the courts granted temporary custody to the husband's parents - this meant that she barely saw them but the husband saw them all the time even when it wasn't his "turn" because he merely stayed over at his parent's house (where the kids were).  Courts finally granted joint custody, so she ended up seeing the kids only on certain days which did not work well (again constant power struggle with husband).  She spent all her savings $50K on a lawyer and yet ended up moving back in the marital home so that she could bring up her children and not have to leave them alone with him.  Living every day with a horrible husband, kids are traumatised. Husband won't give divorce and is constantly taking the children (esp the older one) out for the entire weekend (sleeping over at grandparents), brings child home late at night during the week - she barely sees the older one at all.  Husband has turned older child against her now (bully tactic) and is trying to do the same with the younger child now. Older child now hits her and abusive to her, same as husband is.  Seems there is no solution.  ??[/quote]
