There is life after these con artists :)

Just an update on the turkish husband in hopes of encouraging women to leave these scumbags...

I won the divorce case :):) Which means that my refusal to divorce was upheld by the female judge. Turkish divorce law allows the spouse who didn't start the divorce to refuse and they win if more fault is with the one starting the divorce. I refused as a way of showing him he can't destroy someone and walk away unscathed. Now he must wait 3 years to marry the turkish woman/illegal wife legally. Doesn't matter to me - i like being master of my own destiny. I am revelling in the freedom to live without fear and follow my own path. The pain does disappear :) No compensation for lost money or alimony - he gave court a document saying he's no longer working - probably fake. Let that be a warning if you think court will help you there.

My wonderful lawyer tells me that he exploded when the decision was given :) Death threats, etc etc...

Yawn.....:):):)
