Introduction: Unhappiness with your marriage


Being abused by your wife
[ Publication date Jan 01, 2001 ]

Q: I have suffered a lot of mental torture and verbal abuse from my wife for more than 10 years. Further, she started asking for a divorce first. I think it is very unfair that I accept a marriage counselor's suggestion that we try to resolve everything by a separation agreement and then divorce by saying we were separated for 3 years. What should I do?

A: I should say the marriage counselor may be assuming that your main priority is to end the marriage with less bitter exchange of words as possible under the circumstances. If getting a court to say that your spouse was unreasonable is most important to you, I think there is no point in persuading you to take a less expensive route to divorce. I'll just remind you to be prepared that legal fees in preparing for evidence and witnesses to support your case will be more costly if your wife comes up with her own version ora list of your wrongs.
