Hello all,
I am married to a Tune :-( and we have a daughter who is 3 years old. I have been married since 2007 and we got married in Tunis.
The time has come after a long fighting struggle to keep everything together to divorce.
he has been here on a spouse visa from 2009 to 2011 and he couldnt be bothered to sort him self out financially to apply for his ILR in Aug 2011 when it expired so he went back off to Tunisia ... before he left he was meeting up with YOUNG girls whilst I was out at work earning money for 95% of the bills and he would pay only what he could be bothered too.
We were not on speaking terms when he left in the November 2011 and didnt speak to each other till February 2012, when we decided to give it one last and final shot - FOR OUR DAUGHTER - he applied for another 2 year spouse visa in Aug 2012 and it was granted in December 2012. He come back to the UK in Jan 2013 only for the problems to start all over again - being agressive, not wanting to spend time with me or his daughter, unwilling to help financially, unusual behaviour, smoking weed etc etc etc
he even had the cheak to tell his friends i was always taking his money off him as soon as he got paid... he hardly give me anything!!
He had been back less than 5 months we had an argument and he has packed his stuff and left on the 26th May 2013 ... i have only seen him once in 4 weeks and that was only just by chance. He has sent me a message on facebook asking if he could see our daughter and I said NO .... he couldnt be bothered to spend time with her when he was with us .... why bother with her now... she is not a toy he can pick up and put down whenever he feels like it. He has not helped with anything financially towards her ... i was lucky to get what I did for the household bills.
Things only changed since we got married .. it was like he turned into a vicious animal ... but you know rose tinted glasses and all that kept me going.
I am wanting to apply for a divorce but really dont know where to start.. I have read loads of things on the internet that has made me quite anxious especially as we have a child together. I have been issued with a prohibited steps order from the courts here in the UK and I am aware that this is "nothing but a piece of paper" in Tunisia with the different laws ut at least it protects her here in the UK. She does not have any kind of passport and has never been to Tunisia at all and I have no intention of taking her there what-so-ever ... harsh on his family I know but this is all because when she was very young we had an argument and he told me that he would take her to tunisia and I would never see her again - I just WILL NOT take the risk!
The last place we resided together was here in the UK for 5 months before he left -
Does anyone know any good honest solicitors in the Tunis Bardo area that will be able to assist with a divorce and how much should this cost? also any information on the process would be fab!
Thanks for reading
