My husband, to whom I have been married 5 years, came home one day drunk last week and gave me a black eye. What are my options for divorce?
Unless your husband has a history of abuse, a one-time incident may not be sufficient to file for a limited divorce under the cruelty ground. If you feel, however, that future incidences of abuse will occur or that your husband intends to cause serious bodily harm to you in the future, then you may have a claim under the cruelty ground. Q: My wife thinks that I am currently having an affair, despite my truthful denial, and has publicly embarrassed me with claims of my supposed affair on numerous occasions. I want to divorce her. Can I do it? A: Yes. If your wife’s claims of infidelity are unfounded, then you can bring a claim for a limited divorce on the ground of cruelty and possibly desertion. Q: My husband constantly yells at me and my children, although he has never physically laid a hand on us. He uses foul language in the presence of my minor children and sometimes directs it to them. This relationship has become emotionally draining, and I want to get out of it. What can I do? A
