This factual story has had me in tears. I am a victim of a terroristic divorce lasting 17yrs in three courts. I have not given up as I would like to let people know of what went on. My ex husband is related to the Chief Justice and many lawyers so I didn’t stand a chance like a snow ball in hell for any fraction of justice. I raised four children on my own by my own boot strap. All my evidence was ignored even in the supreme court. I was ordered to vacate the matrimonial home. Can I tell you more. Let me know.
