Abandonment and support

Today, my one and only comment on the annulment forum posted way back 2005 reaped its 27th respondent.

The lady who wrote me asked how she can file for abandonment and support. She has a sickly son who is now 12 and not receiving any dime from the father. The father usually visits his son whenever he wishes but support is now where in sight.

This mother has to work far from her child just to earn a living. She is now asking about filing an annulment and seeking support.

The advice of the lawyer is for her to file for abandonment and support. This is a criminal case.

She only needs to prepare herself physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.

Why is this so?

First, courtroom battles need your emotional strength to deliver your case. The lawyer of the other party will be grilling you enough that you will feel it better that you did not try this arena.

Secondly, stress will surely get in as you try to earn money and make time to attend hearings of your case.

Finally, you need to spend for filing fee, transportation, lawyer's fees and other miscellaneous fees.

Court battles as I have mentioned will take a lot from you. But for this lady, I feel it is the best route to take.

Many women refuse to get out of their comfort zone to avoid the grilling courtroom battle. They stop their fight because it may be uncomfortable; their husbands therefore luckily roam around conveniently because their wives will not file any case anyway.

This is wrong and therefore, I comment women who have the courage to fight their battle. They will surely win their war rather than just sit and carry the burden to raising their kids alone.

You can say life is unfair, if you allow it to be.

Divorce and Annulment Forums

I received another inquiry today about a woman abandoned by her husband. She seems bothered and helpless.

Why do you think these things happen to women? It is because of her vulnerability or is it because she falls in love to the wrong guy?

What reprieve do women have when faced with this situation?

Is it annulment? Is it divorce? Or do we fight for out right, i.e., claim support or fight of our man?

Some will tell you that to fight your battle but I think you need to know if you are fighting a winnable war. If you feel you lack information, lawyers can be helpful. However, this can be costly. Lawyers charge by the hour, thus forums on the web will be helpful because you will find people going through your same situation. You may also find answers to questions that you have yourself.

Divorce and annulment, which ever route you take may rob you of self-confidence. This is the reason why I believe that forums on this subject will help women undergoing marital problems.

There are two ways these forums can help you:

It will help you feel better because you will know that many women go through problems like this. You are not alone fighting a battle like this and you are not singled out by God to have marital issues.

Secondly, you will find answers in different forms, and you may not need to seek the costly lawyers’ advice.

Of course, I will be lying to you if I tell you that lawyers are not necessary. Actually, they are extremely necessary when you need legal reprieve already. But I tell you, forums can help clear the clutters in your mind.

Before I forget, one the other side of the fence, there are forums that may be negative to you as well. You may find a similar situation ending badly.

A point of advice; forums are where you seek help from people undergoing the same problems as you do. However, you do not need to be affected by what happened to other people. We are all difference species. What happened to one may not happen exactly the same to another.

So keep an open mind. If you cannot, then your lawyer can be a good source of information.

The web is a treasure throve of information, even for divorce and separation forums. So Google your way to freedom from marital issues!!!

Divorce and Annulment Resource

Divorce, annulment and legal separation, it has been trying to get my attention for quite a long time now. I believe this is such a popular issue that many men and women are affected by this disease.

I felt remorse when I was trying to research a legal matter when I saw a posting of a woman battered by her foreign husband. I commented in the forum and gave her answers that I hope she was able to use to better her situation.

That happened almost 5 years ago. Since then, I never heard from this lady again. However, at least every two to three months I would get messages from women seeking either and annulment, legal separation or divorce.

I thought that this could be such a popular subject that I thought a blog on it will help people in that dilemma.

This is the back bone of this blog and I hope that people who need help i.e., advice, resource or just any information about divorce and annulment can get help with this blog.

I invite you to comment, ask questions and get back to the site from time to time for the latest tips that the battery of lawyers in my circle can provide.

Have a nice day and I hope I will be able to reach as many people wanting advice.
