Dear All,
I am currently going through divorce at Syariah court. Married for 13 years with a 9 year old boy.My husband suffers from Schizophernia. Did not work for more than 4 years. Had been in and out of hospitals. I left the matrimonial house two years back with my boy. Filed for divorce, attended 3 sessions of counselling [ which took more than 9 months] Filed my case statement early June last year. My husband is refusing to give divorce and dragging with pre-trials. Unfortunately i hired lawyer without a fixed cost as i am totally naive to the process. Paid more than $4000 already. Although i am working my finances are too tight to balance and i am at my wits end with the case not moving forward. Any one went through a contested divorce? Any pointers to help my current situation? How long does such divorces usually take? Is there any way i can take control of my case & push it through hearing? Much appreciate any advice. Thanks.
