My Husband Wont Let Me Divorce Him

Full Conversation

My husband has me trapped and will not allow me to divorce him.
I'm sorry to hear that, ****. Are there any specific threats or actions he's taking to prevent you from filing for divorce?
He said he will not let me have custody of our children. He also restricted my access to the outside world to when he is home or online. Took my car away and sold it, wont allow me to work...
What state are you currently residing in, ****? This will help me provide you with the most accurate information regarding your rights and potential legal recourse.
Missouri
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. Have you reported this to the local authorities?
No
It's crucial to report this to your local authorities. In Missouri, this could be considered domestic abuse. Would you like help finding your local police department's contact information?
No, i have it.
That's good, ****. Remember, you have the right to seek help. In Missouri, courts generally favor joint custody. Reach out to a local attorney for detailed advice.
Thank you
You're welcome, ****. Stay strong and remember, there are resources available to help you. Don't hesitate to reach out for legal assistance.
Okay, thank you again.
****, have you considered seeking a protective order against your husband?

Missouri law allows victims of domestic abuse to obtain protective orders. Contact your local court for more information.
No, i didnt know i could. He does not hit me
Even without physical violence, emotional abuse and control can be grounds for a protective order. Would you like information on how to apply for one in Missouri?
It is okay. I can google it. Thank you again
You're welcome, ****. Remember, you're not alone. Stay strong and don't hesitate to seek help.
Yes
