Your Rights in Divorce: Myths and Truths
One of the major concerns for women is the loss of rights in specific situations. Dr. Renê Freitas is emphatic:
- Infidelity and Rights: If you cheated on your husband, you do not lose the right to property division and you do not lose the right to child custody. It's a common myth that infidelity nullifies these fundamental rights.
Priority: The Children
The lawyer emphasizes that, in his experience, the primary concern for women when considering divorce is their children. "I don't recall any woman saying, 'I'm ending my relationship, I want every penny that's mine,'" he observes, highlighting that the paramount focus is always the well-being and safety of the children.
Overcoming Fears and Finding Support
The fear of financial dependence is another significant barrier. Many women worry about not having money, starving, or being unable to support themselves and their children. Dr. Renê Freitas offers a message of hope and reassurance:
- "You won't lose custody of your child because you don't have money. You won't die because you don't have money. You won't starve. There is life outside this marriage."
The Courage to Start Anew
Courage is a fundamental pillar for taking the step towards separation. It takes courage to:
- Understand that there is life outside marriage, even if the person beside you says otherwise.
- Seek a support network that can guide and strengthen you. "It's two people taking your hand and saying, 'Let's go, let's go together,'" says Dr. Renê.
The Freedom to Live Fully
Dr. Renê Freitas's final message is powerful and liberating: "Perhaps staying within the marriage signifies death. So, leave as soon as possible." He emphasizes that the pursuit of happiness and personal fulfillment should not be hindered by a relationship that no longer serves one's well-being. Knowing your rights is the first step to making informed decisions and building an empowered future.
