Letter of Advice

Dear Katie Homes

You have instructed us that you want to divorce your husband Thomas Crooze with whom you got married on 16 October 2001. In addition to filing an application for divorce, you also want to take out some sort of restraining order against him since he has been harassing and troubling you. According to the facts and details of your case, you have been married since 16 October 2001 with Thomas Crooze. You have two children from the marriage, both are girls born in 2007 and 2010. First time when you and your husband got separated when he moved out of the home was on 28 June 2012. He came back on 25 December 2012 and you both started your relation as husband and wife again. Then on 12 March 2013, you and your husband Thomas Crooze got separated again but under the same roof. Eventually on 31 May 2013, your husband left the home and ultimately you both got separated again. After that you entered in a new relation but since then your husband Thomas Crooze has been harassing and troubling you. On the basis of above mentioned facts and details you want to file an application for divorce from your husband Thomas Crooze and also wants to take some kind of restraining order against him for his troubling acts.

My advice for you in this case is provided in the below discussion.
