My sister has a history of being secretive with the family.
Both of us had no plan that she got married in 2018, but I’m not sure anyone else did either.
By the time she finally admitted to the marriage, things were already going downhill with her hubby. He’s from a country where there is a strict patriarchal society where ladies are expected to be subservient to women. For a while my sister plus her hubby tried to compromise plus meet halfway with their expectations of one another, but eventually the concerns became glacial. At one point she spit in her face plus slapped her when they were having a heated fight. I invited her to stay with myself and others in my house until she could find a site for herself. Without a moment’s hesitation I told her to contact our state’s Bar Association for attorneys. The Bar Association asks you what your needs are plus will give you the contact information of a handful of peculiar attorneys in your section that fit the right specialty. In her case she needed to find a nice divorce attorney locally as quickly as possible. While the state pursued a criminal case against the man, my sister got everything that she needed prepared on her side for a divorce. Since the marriage was ending with a domestic violence court case, her divorce attorney did everything she could to seek disfigures for my sister. Now her abusive ex-hubby is forced to pay her alimony money indefinitely. She was able to keep the house that was shared between the two of them but had always been in my sister’s name. I warned him that I’d be the next woman in jail if she ever came one step closer to my sister or the rest of my family again.
