“Anh” and her children suffered terrible abuse from her husband. The husband was arrested multiple times for domestic violence and the couple had separated. Even so, he still showed up unannounced at the house, in violation of a court no-contact order.
Anh was referred to us by the YWCA. Although Anh speaks almost no English, we worked with her via professional interpretation, a service we offer to clients of any language, at no cost.
We filed for divorce, but Anh's husband sabotaged the process and lied repeatedly. When the case came to trial, our attorney argued strongly for Anh to receive 60% of the marital equity based on the husband’s abuse and cruelty. To Anh’s great relief, the judge granted that arrangement, and awarded her sole custody of the children, as well as significant child support.
Our advocacy helped Anh achieve her goal of independence and safety from her longtime abuser. Now she and her children are starting a new chapter with hope for a better future.
