The lawsuit
L
ike many divorces, ours wasn't easy. I had some small furniture picked up from our house to make my attic a little more cozy. That had not gone down well with him, to say the least. Until now we had also managed to withdraw a figure of money monthly from our joint account, which I then gave to my sister as an allowance for my maintenance. I had no longer had contact with him, he had entered another world. Those who had met him once or twice hardly recognized him. The divorce had to be arranged as soon as possible, that was certain for me.
On the advice of my brother-in-law I could hire a good lawyer, and John had to do this too. This is how our 1st meeting after months took place in court. As he passed me in the hallway, a chill ran through me. There was nothing left of John but a shadow. After a few sessions, I got a good result because there was evidence that Johnd was no longer in control due to his drugs and alcohol use. and things were no longer paid on time. There was no question of alimony yet, but a large piece of salary was transferred from John to me purely to be able to pay the monthly costs of our house and other additional annual bills. This confirmed the words of Isaiah 54:17 prophesied by the old sister in Carmel. I was allowed to rely on God's help and assistance for the future.
