Ex Husbands Delay Tactics

Summary

Ex-husbands may use delay tactics in divorce and custody cases to hide assets, gain leverage, or cause financial strain. Courts generally recognize these tactics and may impose penalties, including legal costs. In short marriages, asset division considers financial needs, contributions, and pre-marital assets. For child custody, courts prioritize the childs best interests. If an ex-husband claims not to receive legal documents, ensure proof of delivery and consider court enforcement. Narcissistic behavior in divorce can include manipulation and control. Courts may recommend co-parenting apps for communication, but enforcement may be needed if an ex refuses. Document concerns about child welfare and discuss with a solicitor. Abused women may face disbelief due to societal biases and lack of evidence. Protect assets with documentation, prenuptial agreements, and legal advice.
