How to prove that my husband is verbally abusive?
Anonymous7 views3 answers
My husband verbally abuses me almost everyday. The words he uses are the most cruel words I have ever heard. Anything I do that he doesn't like which any other person finds normal, he would use all the f words and b words. Afterwards, I have to say sorry to him for not listening to him. I think that's abuse. But how can I prove it? I really cannot find a way to record it since it happens too quickly. Also, my husband said that he would stop working when we enter the divorce proceedings so that I will not get any money from him (since he does not work). He also threatened me to take sole custody of the baby because he has a PhD degree and I only have a college degree!
The fact that he has a PhD and you have a college degree is of no consequence when it comes to custody. The standard used is the best interest of the child. If you have been the primary caretaker, the court will rarely disrupt the status quo unless he can prove it is in the best interest of the child to do so.
Do not take the fact that you both have been to college as an indication that you can go into a difficult family law situation without legal counsel. It is a legal minefield and is no place for amateurs. Consult with counsel.
