How do you get out of an abusive relationship if you do not have the financial means?

Answer 1

If you get down to basics of what is important (as Suze Orman says, it is "people first"), you can live simply and cheaply. Most of us just don't have the savings to make a nice, comfortable get-away. So, you move to a shelter (check United Way or other local groups), with your kids and what you can quickly pack. In the end, the stuff won't matter. Then, you seek a job and a safe, maybe small, place to live within your means. This is enough to manage until you have recovered from the immediate effects of taking action! If you and the husband have savings, set up an account for yourself with some of those so you have back up. Document the paper trail incase this comes up in court. Remember, this is not time to go on that cruise or charge up the plastic cards, but to manage just the basics. If you decide to stay in the house, carefully do the math regarding the mortgage payment and whether you can pay it. Otherwise, you can get a double whammy of food or mortgage...I left the house.

AnswerNot sure exactly what your seeking. How do you get out of an abusive relationship, you either kick the abuser out or move out yourself. Financially, is if your married file for divorce and split things how ever its fair and I mean if you owned the house and majority of the stuff then that all remains yours. Whatever the two of you acquired together during the relationship is what you split, fairly. Dont know what state your in but all the laws are slightly different.Good luck and be strong.
