Q

Is a divorce due to domestic violence possible? I am afraid of retaliation.

Legal IntellectualViews47,508

I am having such a hard time because of my husband's beatings.. Over the four years of our life together, he only drinks, and the moment he does, he does whatever he wants and raising his hand at me is just an everyday thing.. Feeling that I cannot go on living like this, I brought up divorce, but perhaps because that made him touchy, he beats me even more severely. Is a divorce due to domestic violence possible? Please help me..

Answer to Related Inquiry

In your situation, a divorce due to domestic violence is possible.

Domestic violence is a crime that seriously harms the victim's physical and mental health.

In such a situation, considering a divorce due to domestic violence can be a very complex process, both emotionally and legally.

Because a divorce due to domestic violence is a problem that is difficult to resolve alone, it is important to obtain the help of an attorney experienced in this area.

To proceed with a divorce due to domestic violence, evidence proving the fact of the assault is necessary.

Such evidence may include photographs taken at the time of the assault, a hospital diagnosis, records of 112 reports, recording files, a notice of the result of domestic violence punishment, and witness statements.

Based on such evidence, you can file a divorce lawsuit for domestic violence and can also claim consolation money and the division of marital property.

If there are children, the court considers the safety and welfare of the children to be the most important priority.

In this case, the victim can assert priority in the custody of the children and can also claim child support for the children.

Therefore, it is advisable to secure evidence regarding the domestic violence with the help of an attorney experienced in this area and proceed with the divorce.
