so what do you think you’d be the judge the writer is an abusive relationship doesn’t have access to cash doesn’t know what the bank accounts are husband is
abusive what would you do. I would advise her to file a petition for dissolution with the court and at the same time the Petition for Dissolution,  she files that she
can also file a motion for temporary relief that gives her access to exclusive use of the house temporary spousal support and potentially suit money and if they’re kids that will also give her child support and temporary custody if she prevails so what do you think she would Prevail or not not enough information to know.
