Court Ordered Abuse
The divorce went through, and I was finally free of the abusive man that controlled, physically harmed, threatened, and dehumanized me emotionally for years. The escape in itself wasn’t easy; met with him telling me that I was selfish, a horrible disgusting person and that I was destroying my children by breaking up the family. It involved him physically chasing me down a road, grabbing, and dragging me back while I was screaming, holding the children hostage so that I couldn’t leave, my purse, and all of my belongings.

Kryptonite
March 7, 2011. This was the night my dad was struck by kryptonite. For years, I watched him leave for work in his crisp police uniform. Boots and belt always freshly polished, badge shining with the radiance of a planet in the night sky, and not a wrinkle or unintentional crease on his black, polyester shirt. Before he turned on the radio which hung on his right hip, he would always pick me up, hug me and tell me he loved me, along with my younger sister and brother. My dad was invincible. He was unbreakable. He was my hero.

The Talk of War
One of the most influential purchases of her life was a small part of a place called Kopenhaven. Kopen, meaning to buy, and Haven, meaning refuge or safety, was the most accurate definition of the situation at hand. For $830 a month, Ricci just bought her and her daughter a place to stay after the fallout. The separation between Ricci and her husband was awkward, to say the least. She officially left him on August 30th, also known as her birthday. The last place she expected to be on what’s supposed to be a happy day- is a rental office 8 blocks away from her old house, signing a 1 year lease for a one-bedroom apartment. Her daughter was in the seat next to her, silently watching the pen move across the paper, observing the shaky lines and hesitant lifting of her mother’s hand once she was finished, as if she wasn’t ready to take the pen off the paper.

What Is Divorce? Reasons Of DIVORCE_ Why Couples Get Divorced?
Separation, often known as "disintegration of marriage," is the legal termination of a conjugal partnership. The separation process is handled by family law attorneys (each aggrieved life partner has his or her own counsel) and encompasses a variety of concerns ranging from property division to child custody. While it is important to choose a lawyer who is skilled at representing your financial and other interests in a divorce, it is also critical to find a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable on an interpersonal level. Separation is a highly emotional procedure that needs delicate relationship-building talents in addition to authentic knowledge.
