Legal Separation

[Sun_flwer]

My husband's behavior has crossed the line into abusive behavior more than once lately.This has happened in the past from time to time but the abuse has been escalating and the situation is no longer safe
for me or my son.

I'm interested in any information on the legal
process involved. I will be contacting a lawyer but I wanted to know
anyone's first-hand experience and what to expect.

And please pray for my son as this is going to be very hard on him.

Hello Jessica. Being from the States I can't address the law in Canada but I am including a couple weblinks I hope you will find helpful.

I'm saddened you and your son are facing this battle. I will pray for you both, and for your husband also that he will open his heart to God.

If what he does is illegal you call the police and they'll separate you from him by locking him up. When he comes out he'll probably not do that anymore.

I'm in Alberta and have recently left my H for the same reasons. You don't have to file for legal separation in Canada to be officially separated.

If you have alot of assets or dept it is a good idea. We don't so I just took my name off our joint account and sent a form to the family allowance to tell them we are separated and to deposit the money onto a different account.
