    Lightbulb Desperately Seeking Divorce. Hubby May Be Going to Prison

    My question involves divorce in the State of: Georgia

    Long story short to explain my situation: I've been married 3 years. Left after 10 months due to physical, emotional and verbal abuse. He was arrested for Terroristic Threats against me. (Has prior felony conviction for solicitation to have his ex murdered - served 10 years, plus numerous misdemeanors) Said he had changed, sounded humble and remorseful, stupid me believed him, hired an expensive attorney, got him a 5 year no violence against me probation. Things got bad again, he was arrested on misdemeanor simple assault. Said he had changed.

    Now even more stupid me hires yet another expensive attorney. He gets 1 month of strict probation and community service and had his probation time knocked down to 6 months, again, it was a no violence against me.

    Guess what? He was just arrested for 2 counts of assault, both misdemeanors. He bonded out and signed a no contact bond (without my help or knowledge that he would even be elligible for bond under the circumstances of his colorful history) and the idiot calls me less than 30 minutes after he's realeased. I was on the phone for almost 3 hours trying to find someone to arrest his butt cause he signed a no contact bond. He contacted the sheriff's office to have them escort him to the house to pick up some of his things. (Guess he was the stupid one this time, thinking I wouldn't call the police on him cause I hadn't in the past) Luck was on my side because I was standing there talking to the sheriff when all this happened. The sheriff had a TPO for him, along with a probation revoke. Nice gift for my husband who was standing on my doorstep thinking the nice officer was going to let him in. Well, he called me again from jail. I didn't call the police or sheriff. I want to...I know I should...but I know he's in enough trouble as it is. They told me they were going to serve him on aggravated stalking when they picked him up, but not sure if they did or not.

    Question is: Should I do the smart thing and call the sheriff and tell them he called me from jail? I didn't talk to him, I just hung up. Would this help in my divorce case? I'm thinking they'd slap him yet again with another aggravated stalking charge, which is a felony.

    What are my chances and how do I get a divorce if he's doing time? Will it be easier? I don't have the money to file contested...considering my cards are maxed out because I helped him before, and he has been demanding 15 grand from me to give me a divorce and just walk away (I have an email from him I saved stating such) I want him out of my life. I spent over 20 grand on him .....We own a home together and he has a car in his name only. He also has a checking account in his name only. He doesn't work....collects social security and disability, which he'll lose if he's in jail for more than 60 days. He paid all the utilities and we split groceries, I paid the mortgage. Will lose my home because I can't pay all the bills with the crappy job I have, but I'd gladly give it up to give him up.

    Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

    Default Re: Desperately Seeking Divorce. Hubby May Be Going to Prison

    Hi, i'm in GA too and with the same problem. I was beginning to think I'm the only woman on this site with such a dilema. I have been seeking advice from this site since the beginning of the summer. So far I have decided to "NO-FAULT" and was lucky enough to piss off hubby and agree to sign DV papers. I will update soon after my court date next month. I felt that I lost so much out of my relationship and deserved to contest my divorce but I am in fear of this man that I don't want anything from him. I just cut my losses and hope for the best. I had to quit answering his calls cause he is lying telling me he's going to help me out just to get me to pick up the phone. These type of men are very dangerous they can appear to the world like the best people and are mentally incapable of respecting the law (no self control). My husband makes friendly with the sheriff dept. and I can't believe they helped him out of jail on a clerical error.

    Please if anyone with some strong legal useful advice on these issues be so kind to reply..
