[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In VA, you must have "grounds for divorce if the other is not agreeable. In my case, I am the wife who wants out b/c he has [b]been verbally and emotionally abusive[/b]. It is an unhealthy relationship...however, [b]I don't have grounds[/b]. I have three daughters who I refuse to live without, so I stay. Depending on your situation, it can be VERY difficult to get out of a marriage. In my case, I want custody of the girls, and because I have been a stay-at-home mom for 10 years, I am dependent on child support and alimony.  In my personal experience, I would have to go to court for a judge to order the divorce. It would require a long, drawn out $50,000 trial to work it out. So, regardless of what PP have written, you CAN'T always just go out and get a divorce if you want one.  don't get me started on women's issues, but in my case, it is still a man's world and I am still living in an unhealthy, dead marriage because my husband refuses to "give" me a divorce.

Have you talked to an attorney or looked for free legal advice (from a non-profit)?  There are other options rather than a 50k trial or being stuck.  You have grounds...[/quote]
