Divorce issues - need advice
A really good friend of mine is very unhappy in her marriage. She has considered a divorce for the past year, but her main reason for not going through with it is that she doesn't want to deal with the legalities of a divorce. She knows he will be vicious and try to take everything from her. She owns her own business and she recently spent all of her tip money from the past 20 years on a vehicle --- she knows he will try and take them away. Basically she's afraid she will be left with nothing.
I told her that she should sign anything she wants into someone else's name so that he isn't entitled to it. I even offered to let her sign her business in my name, and say that she is only a manager. I don't know how her husband could get past this. In all honestly I don't think he has alot of power -- she makes three times what he does. He's just ruthless when he wants to be and will fight for everything.
Is there anything she can do? Any way that she is sure to keep all of HER belongings?
She says he can take everything as long as she gets the animals, the business, and her two vehicles. He didn't work for any of these things -- She did, and she desveres them. She said he can have the house, he can have the money, everything inside the house, she doesn't care. But he will want it all. :( Her mother went through the same thing. Her husband fought her for everything and won. He even took her dogs. So she killed herself. I am afraid that my friend will end up the same way. :(
