Steps in getting divorce, man refuse, 1 year old baby involved
Good day,
I want a divorce, but does not know the steps involved. My husband refuses a divorce. We have a 1 year old baby. He says he cares about the baby, but does not mind shouting in front of the baby or breaking things in front of the baby when he gets angry. He has a drinking problem
What is my options? How do I get a divorce. What will happen to the baby?

Evening Janie P, from what you have written it appears that your husband may have anger issues and may need help. Perhaps divorce is not the way to go currently and mediation in this regard may be of assistance. As a family you may approach the Social Wellfare Offices who could assist you both in settling the anger issues. However this can be regarded as emotional abuse and at your local Magistrate’s Offices you can also be helped in respect of these issues as well as an order/protection interdict against the abuse.
