I am in the process of trying to get a divorce. My husband beat me at the court house by 1 hour last January so he actually filed and since then has done nothing but put obstacles in my way in trying to get a clean divorce. By clean, I mean one where it is gentle. His parents are crazy and angry that I gave them their son back (he is old enough to know better) but he has always been a person who does not take responsibility for anything--even losing his civil service job he had for over 20+ years. He now feels he is "disabled" and can no longer work and is trying to get SSI.
To make a long story short, I have had to deal with everything, including trying to sell our co-op, paying all the bills, and just trying to make it day by day.
Now my problem is is that I am in posession of the family car, even though it is not titled in my name. It is currently unregistered, uninspected and soon to be uninsured. My name is totally off the insurance. He wanted a Stip signed so he didn't give up his marital rights but then reneged on signing the Stip he wanted (FYI, my attorney actually prepared the Stip). Now that I secured a vehicle in my name only, he is angry and wants to "give me the car" which I don't need or want. It needs to be in a secure location but I am getting no assistance whatsoever.
unfortunately, according to my attorney, since I am in possession of the car, I'm am one-half responsible for the safety of the car. This is crazy. I'm sick over this and despite my attornies reassurances that he and his paralegal (who are great btw), I still have a hard time functioning in a normal way.
I don't know what to do. Has anyone else gone through a divorce where the spouse refuses to do anything but put obstacles in my way, whose ex-inlaws do everything in their power to try and make me suffer, financially and emotionally, and whose opposing council apparently does not know what she is doing.
This is costing me a tremendous amount of money, time, grief and sometimes I think my attorney thinks I'm crazy.
I just need to know if I'm alone because I feel so alone.
