Hi I just found this web page .. Its been almost three years since my estranged husband ,at the time, after abusing me terrifying us ,came back to our home at 4:30 am and set it on fire with me and his three kids asleep in it. It took me 1 year to have him convicted in that year he was allowed bail and lived a scant 2 miles away from us. I have since had to move across country we have lost a lot and I have accumulated a large amount of debt trying to keep our lives at least somewhat normal. I am out of money now , I am using a borrowed car , I have just gotten a part time job that will earn me under 150.00 a week . I get 5.00 a week child support of course because he is in jail now for 12-36 years. We lost .. We were the victims we are still the victims with no help to finalize a divorce no help to claim bankruptcy, nothing that I can find to get any kinda of real help, just have a fair chance to make it. I have three of the most wonderful girls ages 8, 9 and 16 all are A students in school and good kids above all else they do not deserve this ..I myself have done nothing to gain this end result as I never cheated or anything like that I was a stay at home Mom and wife (at HIS request) ,to warrant getting abused stalked and finally the attempt on my life.
I just want to have a fair chance at this.. I need my divorce finalized, Unfortunately I need a bankruptcy filed I have no extra funds for any of this. legal help of any kind would be most welcome.
Its ironic that at the time we were front page news worthy now I cant find help.. no one wants to hear about what happens to victims of domestic violence. Its a horrible shame if You are brave enough to get the person arrested and convicted you then are victimized by the system. I have spent the last 3 years of my life fighting just for the chance to have a safe normal life. Thank your for time
