CANT LEAVE HIM, more like WONT leave him. You are obviously getting something from this relationship, that arent willing to let go of, maybe a babysitter? You know, that having your children around an abusive person, is wrong, any way you look at it. Yes, alcoholism can be used, so that he would have to get help, or he wont be able to have unsupervised visits. How is planning on supporting the kids, if you divorced him, that is another factor.

get collecting evidence of his drinking habits and abusive behaviour and that should help if push comes to shove.

If he is so abusive and heavy drinker. Why are you leaving the kids with him? social Services could take that as neglectful on your part. You aren't doing what you should to protect the kids.

Is he abusive to the kids or only you? If he's emotional or verbally abusive to the kids then yes you could use that but if he's never hurt the kids & only you then chances are they may grant him custody it mostly depends on the laws in your state. Call a family law court rep & talk to them in your area

You're reading Married to an emotional/verbal abusive husband who drinks heavily, doesn't work. He looks after kids(5,10,14years). I work full time. Can't leave him - strong chance he will get custody as main carer. Could heavy drinking be used against him in court?
