My marriage has been on the rocks for at least three years already and we're bound to get a divorce sooner or later. I can't possibly state everything, but basically here's my circumstances right now:

-Have not been working for more than 18 years, so I have no income at all.
-Not able to save any money from monthly allowance because I was only given enough for household expenses and barely have enough for myself.
-That man controls the finances. Lately he has been giving me even lesser monthly allowance due to some arguments.
-It is not possible for me to find a place to stay, again, due to financial problem. Allso no one is there to provide me with accommodation.
-Health & ageing problems. Lack of skills, thus, not easy for me to find a job.

Just hope to hear some opinions from as to:
-How do I get a divorce when you don't have the money? (I'm also pretty sure that the divorce will be contested, so it is going to cost a lot?)
-Without money, how do you even find a place to stay? I can't possibly file for a divorce, have summons sent to that man etc, yet still stay under the same roof as him right?
 


Slowly check on his account first. Make copies of his financial letters eg bank n salary pay slip. Don't do any rush first. Do u hv kids?
 
Check his bank account for?

Isnt it better to suggest that everyone be more independent by getting an own income?

Hi MaureenT, currently i am also in the same situation like you. Now i am in the midst for contested divorce. My spouse flat, kids and money all he want. For your case you can go to Legal Aid for help.
 
I like couple to work out their marriage but it is a vintage point if u hv total knowledge of the family finance status. In order to do that, check his document. I do agreed to be financial independent too if u can get a job first. In case, u really need to divorce.
