Many countries have such a law.
I’m mentioning this because your posts come across to me like okay you may have made some mistakes but your husband seems to think he can tell you what to do and even curtail your freedom. He doesn’t have that right. |
CA has similar. I had left my husband still married because I didn't want to get a divorce that forced the sale of the upside down valued home we owned & leave him homeless. He earned more money than I did but quit paying the mortgage....I called APS (adult protective services) because I knew he had mental issues he probably needed help with. When I called them back they basically told me that there was nothing they could do & that they are entitled to make choices whether they are bad or not & it is their own problem what the consequences are. Hmmmm, maybe that is why the homeless population in Calif is so high & many do have mental health issues that are being ignored with a tough luck attitude. BTW, he lost the home & I am divorced from him. Bad choices can destroy their lives & the lives of people around them & if nothing can be done to change that then leaving them to their bad choices just makes the situation worse & makes people want to leave them to their bad choices.
