Divorce is always hard, and child custody battles can be emotional, time consuming and difficult as well. Both of these issues are infinitely harder if your ex-partner is abusive. Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Nancy, and I divorced my husband five years ago. We had been together 10 years, and he was abusive. It was a difficult process in every way, but luckily, I had a great attorney to help me through it. I am creating this blog for others who are in the same situation I was in. I hope to fill it with info I wish I had known back then. I hope these posts help you. Stay strong!
