Any form of spouse abuse is major, abuse is abuse and no one has any rite to abuse any one or anything.
99.9% of spouse abuse is caused by alcohol abuse.
If you been separated from your spouse but did it because of abuse do you need legal documentation for that?
It could be considered abuse, if your spouse knows that his or her actions are causing you to be afraid or unhappy and they continue to act that way just to harm you.
Depends if there is abuse in forms of verbal abuse, things such as yelling, threatening can be classified as abuse. If not than yes it is
Depends on the situation. Is there any adultry, abuse or have you moved out of the home or your spouse?
Yes.
Spousal abuse is abuse regardless of whether or not it is discussed.
With the truth, calmly.
When a spouse is verbally abusive, that is oftentimes a precursor to domestic violence which can escalate to physical abuse. When a spouse quits paying the bills for the house, or controlling all of a marriages financial assets, this is called financial abuse.
In my experience an abusive woman will increase the level of abuse in the relationship as long as the submissive husband tolerates it or allows it to go on. In my own case, I was conditioned to fear my wife and to accept all punishments. An abuser requires a spouse who is weak and submissive and takes the abuse.
"Yes. I believe in an innocent spouse. I do agree there are some in relationships that do not cheat and abuse their spouse. They should be commended for doing so. I know it's hard to believe, but to believe is to conquer."
There are at least two separate issues here. First, by "spouse support" I'm guessing you mean "alimony". The answer is yes, this CAN happen. Whether or not it DOES happen in any particular case depends a significant amount on how good each party's lawyers are. The other issue is the "because of abuse" part. That's ammunition for your lawyer (see above) to get you a better deal in the divorce.
