Telling a man that is abusing you that you’re going to your moms house is the number one thing you DO NOT do, move in silence to avoid potential fatality
Ken is delusional. You do not announce your leaving to a physically abusive partner. Even the threat is enough to leave without warning and immediately file for divorce and separation. No counseling is going to keep you alive.
I had a friend who told her abusive husband that she was leaving. The day before the move he killed her, shot her child (who survived) and killed himself. Ma'am, if you're reading this, PLEASE do not announce your plan. Vanish! Sell your house and buy another anyplace else. Godspeed ❤
If she’s surrounded by 4 of her older brother, former marines, then do it. Otherwise, thats an email or phone call from a different state. Sell the house and get away.
This guy is totally wrong. Never give an abuser an ultimatum, don’t tell your plans in advance, call him from her moms house to tell him the timeline in which he has to be out, never be alone with him, ever again. Go with a male relative or friend to the house only when you think he’s gone and CHANGE THE LOCKS that day. Don’t give this man the benefit of the doubt, consider an order of protection, a temporary restraining order. Safety is first, second, and third. Your financial problems are easily solved compared to getting away from a man that might seriously harm or murder you.
Yea I agree, no reason to tell an abuser your going to your mom's house. They definitely need to be told they have a certain period of time to get out the house, but even then, she needs to notify him of that when she is safe and away from him, because likely saying that in the house with him will have him explode
Ken has moved on from giving bad advice, to dangerous advice. Don't ever give a call like this to anyone but Dave or Deloney or Rachel. She is endangering herself to follow his advice.
I WOULD NOT recommend telling him all of this to his face. Either do it over the phone or in person accompanied by a couple of strong men in your life. Telling him everything Jade and Ken told you will likely set him off, and if it's just you and him, who knows what he will do. Get authorities involved if he refuses to move out, but please do not put yourself in the same room as this man ever again, without a couple of men or cops with you.

srsly. Ken is so off here. She doesn't need to warn him that if it happens again she will call the police. It's already happened. Take action accordingly.
The problem is one word. Married. The husband has a vested interest in the house and she will not be able to legally kick him out of it. If he wants to be difficult, her hands will be tied. She will likely need to sell the house to get him out or let it go into foreclosure. If she tries to file for divorce, he likely won’t sign the papers so it will take years to finalize. And yes, Ken’s advice is horrible. There is no saving this relationship. He has shown this woman who he is. She needs to believe it and not give him a road where he can play along to get her back under the roof he lives in and able to put the fear of god into her. Worst advice you could possibly give to someone in this situation.
@@brookiegremlin6660 I thoroughly agree that this woman is already in danger of her husband harming or killing her; this husband is the “real deal” when it comes to being dangerous and that’s never someone worth risking your life to keep in your life
Call the police. Get it on record. Have the police remove him from your home. So what if he loses his job. He should have thought about that before he verbally threatened to harm you. Don't give him anymore time and space to harm you any further.
The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you are trying to leave. Do not be alone anywhere with this man. Consider a protective restraining order. I would call the police about his threats of physical violence. Buy an hour of an attorney's time about the legal matters. NO marriage counseling because it empowers the abuser; diminishes the power of the abused. He showed you who he is: Believe him. And remember you are not alone. Many of us have walked this path and survived. Stay strong.
Sorry Ken, but you’re absolutely wrong here. This is not an “if/or” situation. I AM calling the cops and you ARE moving out. You don’t give him the opportunity to make good on his previous threats.
Most ppl that live in the home still have to be evicted with 30 days. And if you call the cops if you dont have proof they threatened you and they act sane when the cops show up, the cops cant do a thing. Which really sucks...
I don’t think they handled this call correctly. They should’ve given her advice and information on how to safely get out of the situation and then tell her to stay on the phone and let her know that they will assist her with her financial situation but firstly they will assist her with her abusive relationship. She needs to leave, get make a police report, get help from male friends, relatives and police to get her belongings. And never ever tell a perpetrator your plans!
Yep. They were clearly too stressed to deal with this & need to work on how a team handles this without John or Dave. Dave did great on the other call with the lady who was in an unfolding event.
Because legalistic Christians make it seem like divorce is the worse sin on earth. And they guilt trip women especially they never guilt trip men. God hates all sin but He loves us more. He will not turn against you if you divorce your cheating, lying, abusive, or unrepentant husband. He probably didn’t even ordain that marriage in the first place and that’s why it won’t work.
@@zvmZvm0102 Too bad there are some people who are idiotic enough in this world that seem to think that if someone is threatening another person, "the person being threatened automatically deserves the threats". No, a person normally does not "deserve" to be threatened with harm, unless it's a case of self-defense. Get some help, you really (at least by all appearances) seem to need it badly! You also seem to have a lot of hate in your heart, and that is honestly a sad state for you to be in if true, but I doubt there is enough common sense to realize you need help though. Most people with that kind of bad attitude towards others seldom have any. (My opinion only).
@@zvmZvm0102 What an incredibly hurtful statement! These guys usually "love bomb" there victims and then revert to type when they gain legal control as through marriage. The fact that people agree with you, is disgusting!
You are correct. She could get a home equity loan, pay off everything and get him OUT. OUT of her home, OUT of her life, OUT of her head! OUT!!! And she would just have the legal fees and one home payment. (Cut up the CCards!)
Ramsey folks are good for the financial perspective. From experience….don’t tell ol’ dude your moves though. Just take them. The less he knows the better, and he told you all you need to know. Congrats on your plans moving ahead!❤️
You are correct if you give him the playbook he will start first, I don’t know what state she is in but it seems like the first one to get things filed in the “legal system “ wins.
They are really bad at giving financial advice as well. Maybe it will work for this woman. But most people don’t have the means to invest or pay off debt like Ramsey suggests. They give advice for the Boomers economy we had 40 years ago. Not the Biden economy we have today.
*The amazing skills of real estate are that it help keep the family, aid financial support, and can serve as a retirement tool when retired. It's passive income which rewards hard work and patience*
Here’s real advice from a survivor: 1. She needs to go to her local domestic violence shelter for help and assistance and to document the abuse. Doesn’t mean she has to stay there. 2. Go to mom’s house. 3. File for divorce and a protective order. Get him out of the house. 4. Do not give him any threats, boundary setting, or ultimatums. Don’t let him know you are leaving. That’s terrible and dangerous advice. She needs a good lawyer. Not a marriage counselor. After all of that then she can deal with her finances and decide whether or not to sell her home
@@cassandrahuete5973 no one deserves to be hit by a car either, but yet some people walk out into traffic. No pity for stupid people who get themselves into these situations.
This is how friends and family members get killed. You are going to drag your drama to your Mothers home. You’ll get family all riled up and then turn around and go back. If you are serious…call the police. Ask him to leave. Get a restraining order. And if all else fails find a safe place where he can’t find you as a cooling off period. I’m not suggesting you stay, but I’m just saying this can escalate quickly.
Go to a safe house. Get police involved. Do not try to save your marriage. Don’t live in your home; Sell it. Get a divorce. Change your phone number. Make sure he never knows where you move. To the male host of this show: If you don’t have a specialty in abuse counseling, keep your opinions to yourself. You could get this woman killed!

Yessss, Jade's right, talk to the people you trust, do not hide what's happening from the people who care about you. Abusers get away with murder - literally - because they convince you no one will believe you or care. Don't let anyone ever convince you that other peoplevwill think you're lying, because that's a lie.
Get out of this marriage??? But don't let him know about it. Prepare quietly, money (cash), place to go, new phone etc. I was a matchmaker and have encountered as clients but also while dating fife men who all were "widowers". Their wives fell off a cliff while hiking, a fiancé "suddenly" disappeared on X-mass eve leaving her fife year old behind, "walked away" without taking her purse or phone, "drowned" in the Caribbean and "suddenly" died in Mexico while on a "reconciliation vacation". Only one of these men went to jail for 20 years. It's an epidemic!
Sometimes in the South, brothers and cousins INVITE the abusive man to leave and it's advice the guy should take. In some cases, the men will assist the jerk with packing and transportation.
A person with aphasia and/or dysarthria makes more sense than kamala. Stroke victims & coma patients have more valuable things to say.... Which really terrible because nobody should vote for trump. But.. they will.
@@GAFB1122 Been happily married for over a decade with kid on the way. Very content with my life choices...I've seen so many people make bad decisions along the way that I've lost empathy for them.
He’s clearly never been a woman in an abusive relationship. Don’t talk to him, leave. Change the locks, call the police. Don’t talk to him!!! Everything on text so you have a trail that proves threats. Period. Done.
This isn't a situation for counseling. Get him out, which could be tricky depending on how cooperative he is, since they're married. Then sort through finances.
@@Jaycv-dq3rg If (as you say) you are not an abuser, then that's a good thing. If she was a bad mom then it's a good thing that the judge gave you custody of the kids too. Sorry if I misjudged you.
Don't tell him you are leaving, that is when you are most at risk with an abuser (including the 6-24 months afterwards). You do need to file charges, restraining order, non-molestation order, etc. Contact a specialist DV centre and they will walk you through the process and get you away safely. Also ask for a risk assessment to be done if they do them. For those that are wondering "why she picked him", it is typical of abusers to hide their true selves until a commitment point, which in this case was marriage. Sometimes it is pregnancy/childbirth, other times it could be engagement or living together - it is any point whereby the abuser thinks you are his now, and will not leave him. It is up to you if you sell the house. It depends how he is after being removed. If he is still causing trouble, sell up and move where he does not know you are (and also be vigilant at work, they show up at work places for post-separation stalking. Stay safe, best of luck.
I disagree with the counseling suggestion here. . Once threats are made then that is the persons character. Get out. Save potentially your life . In many ways . I know from experience. Darkest time of my life . And that person went on to abuse others.
@@jimmymcgill6778 I can think of one really good reason to sell the house and find a new dwelling. I'm sure you can't see it though (according to your comment).
If I was the victim, I would move to an unknown location. I would not put any of my family especially my parent in harms way by moving with her/him or them.
Absolutely no way should you be encouraging her to save the marriage. Counselling wont fix a guy who threatens to physically hurt his wife. You need to kick his butt out, get a restraining order and start your new life on your own. Safe in body and mind!
She really needs to speak to a lawyer because they've given her a lot of bad advice. She can't just throw him out. It's his home. It doesn't matter whose name is on the title or who owned it before the marriage. If he doesn't want to move out, only a judge can make him. A judge probably would give her possession of the home during the divorce, since it was hers before the marriage and it's been a short marriage, but she still needs to go before a judge. The fact that they no longer use a joint bank account is also irrelevant. They are married. Their finances are intermingled legally whether they operate them that way in practice or not. If he's racking up debt right now, that's her debt.
Georgia is not a common law property state , so it does matter who owned what before the marriage, and what was acquired during the marriage. But you’re right that this nothing to do with whether the bank account is shared or not.
@@jgray690yeah all she has to do is get a RO and he will be completely forced out of that home. If he is full on making threats, she should go that route.
Get out or get sole possession of your house. Get a lawyer. He can and might well destroy your house in your absence. Be very careful, this is the most dangerous time for you. You won't be working if you are injured or dead. Forget "counseling" with this guy.
I was thinking about this husband doing a lot of property damage once he realizes that the wife is leaving him and when she’s not there to be physically harmed he will go after her house instead
Thank you for helping us who are trying to fix the mistakes we've made for whatever reasons. I also appreciate Jade's empathy with the caller and being calm and focused on how to best help this individual. No disrespect to the other Ramsey personalities, but I am now convinced that Jade is my absolute favorite of the Ramsey personalities and it is always a joy whenever she is on screen (George, you are a close second). Thanks again.
I understand that from a Christian perspective no one wants to see a marriage end in divorce and we really hope for restoration, but the reality is when you are dealing with a narcissist and/or abuser, they pretty much never change. The statistics are like less than 1% of abusers actually change, so it is very dangerous to put all the burden on the victim in these cases as if they are the ones not holding on tight enough, praying hard enough, being willing to "forgive" enough, which is actually just allowing someone to kill your spirit over and over, which God is NOT OK with. Thank you to Jade for immediately taking this call seriously.
Don’t leave him in your house, don’t let him take it from you. Just throw all his stuff out, don’t warn him. Keep your car, can’t buy another for 6k. Good luck, you got this!
Wow, I was reading the comments correcting Ken and then I heard him dish out the bad advice and my blood started boiling. I hope that woman knows to ignore him and get to safety quietly and quickly.
If that was me I would leave him as soon as possible . He already threatened you so he is going to actually fulfill his threat. You have to be careful do not be by yourself alone in the house.
Wait...are you saying there are no good men? I'm a woman and her to say that I'm sorry that your experience has made you think so, but the truth is that most men in the world ARE good, just like most women are. The bad ones (like the husband in this story) just give the silent majority a bad name to some people.
Ramsey team, please do some training on how a team handles these calls without John or Dave on the phone. Dave did great with the other lady, in an unfolding situation. John obviously knows what he's doing.
No "or im calling the authorities" no "counseling". Call authorities now, get help with safety planning from a domestic violence outreach. Abused people are at highest risk when they leave so there needs to be a plan in place.
@@zvmZvm0102 You have a lot of the same comments. I am thinking you are alone and no one wants you, no one loves you and you only have insults on the internet. I feel sorry for you and those like you!
If you leave the home in a marriage some states and courts say you are abandoning the home thus giving it to partner / husband and lose claim to that home. Be very careful here.
This is why as owner of that home. Restraining order . Establish legally you are not abandoning the home ( don’t forget they are married), thus losing her equity , possible ownership and any chance for survival financially as well should she lose the home to abandonment . It’s more in theory legally by actions. OF COURSE safety physically is an issue. Any Lawyer will tell you this. 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely none of this advice is acceptable. She talks to a lawyer today and files for divorce. She files a restraining order today, gets him out of the house today, goes to her mothers tonight. Once you threaten someone’s life, it’s over. The trust is gone and you’re considered dangerous.
RUN. My marriage only lasted 11 months, twenty years ago. I had my own home, my own car. I left the marriage because of domestic violence. I ended up packing all his belongings apart from his clothing after my ex husband stalling for 2 weeks. I arranged the movers. Don't keep domestic violence a secret. Tell your family, friends and workplace. Let him know that EVERYONE close to you knows. If he refuses to leave YOUR home, call the police. It's hard but safety is the #1 priority.
Conservative Christian culture right there for ya. My best friend’s husband abused her and her own family convinced her to stay with him because “marriage is a covenant before god”.
Callers have a way out, going up mom’s house is a no brainer. They call in to get advice to go to parents’ house. Not everyone has the luxury of going back to a parents house to be rescued 🤦🏻♀️
My sister was with her husband for 8yrs he eventually killed her he is in jail now for 32yrs, but if they threatened they will probably follow thru, you are a very brave lady and don’t need or deserve this
Please don't tell him the plans before you put them in action. An abuser is more lonely to act on the threat to prevent you from taking hold of your own life than any other time.
At least her income is great, Atlanta people stay buying cars they don’t need or afford lol…….lot of rich buyers as well. her situation is fucked until she gets away from him nothing else to talk about & I’m getting the vibe that she makes more than him
There's no point in her side hustling and attacking her debt until the divorce is handed to her, because ultimately he might take advantage of the improved credit score to dig them into a ton of debt.
It is amazing to me that this woman needs to consult with strangers to determine what she needs to do. The man is beating her ass and she has to ask Dave Ramsey on what to do. Incredible.! If a woman has her own money - what does she need marriage for?
Ramsey Team: Yall need to get ur folks DV crisis training... This is happening alot and some serious mistakes are being made.. Please reach out and get some professional training.. This women needs more than financial advice.. She should NOT confront him. This kinda guy isn't gonna play nice.. NEVER CALL HIM OUT!! If he was reasonable, this wouldn't have happened..
Not necessarily, if she were to get the authorities involved and tell them about the threats, I believe he could bevremived from the home. She just needs to play smart and not give him the opportunity to follow through with his threats.
@@zvmZvm0102 Women, Men, You can't imagine what people are capable of. About 4 years ago, a supervisor was retiring where I work. There were 2 individuals who were wanting his position. One of them lied that the other, made a verbal threat to woop his ass. Just to get him fired.
Tell him you’re putting the house on the market and you are filing for divorce because you threatened to hit me. Don’t tell him where you’re going. Protect yourself
Makes 6-10k a month, doesn't have savings, has incredible debt, and it sounds like the equity in her house is because of the covid spike. She's a wreck financially.
It is a fact that the point of leaving and just after are the most dangerous times in a domestic abuse situation. Don't say anything, get out. And then after everything has cooled down you can think about if you want to have a controlled conversation with the man (NOT IN PRIVATE). Although I am not sure what would be left to say.
Easier said than done Ken. Her husband is not going to simply comply with her move out demands especially if he has no where else to go with his home being rented out by a tenant.
Caller-LEAVE NOW! He will do it. And be sure the police know what's going on. Possibly a restraining order. He threatened you with physical harm. Your situation is escallating. Do what Jade is suggesting, but get out NOW for your safety.
Nope, get the police or some big men to be at the house with you when you tell him to leave. Never leave this guy in the house without supervision. Otherwise he can freak out and possibly destroy things. Then try and get a restraining order on him which might be hard since it is just threats so far, but probably you should try.
Telling a man that is abusing you that you’re going to your moms house is the number one thing you DO NOT do, move in silence to avoid potential fatality

That is so very sad. I am so sorry about your friend.
We always think this sort of stuff won't happen to us.. and then it happens. Ver sad for the child.
Do not EVER think you owe it to your abuser to tell them in person in an isolated environment you’re leaving them. It will be your last day on earth.

If a spouse threatens harm, understand that they mean it, and understand they have been contemplating doing it for at least some time.

Because Christian culture(not the way Jesus intended) is OBSESSED with marriage and to have it by any means necessary.
Because legalistic Christians make it seem like divorce is the worse sin on earth. And they guilt trip women especially they never guilt trip men. God hates all sin but He loves us more. He will not turn against you if you divorce your cheating, lying, abusive, or unrepentant husband.
He probably didn’t even ordain that marriage in the first place and that’s why it won’t work.
Do NOT reconcile with this male..... RUN!!!!
She picked him she deserves it hahaha
@@zvmZvm0102 Too bad there are some people who are idiotic enough in this world that seem to think that if someone is threatening another person, "the person being threatened automatically deserves the threats". No, a person normally does not "deserve" to be threatened with harm, unless it's a case of self-defense. Get some help, you really (at least by all appearances) seem to need it badly! You also seem to have a lot of hate in your heart, and that is honestly a sad state for you to be in if true, but I doubt there is enough common sense to realize you need help though. Most people with that kind of bad attitude towards others seldom have any. (My opinion only).
@@zvmZvm0102 What an incredibly hurtful statement! These guys usually "love bomb" there victims and then revert to type when they gain legal control as through marriage. The fact that people agree with you, is disgusting!
You are correct. She could get a home equity loan, pay off everything and get him OUT.
OUT of her home, OUT of her life, OUT of her head! OUT!!! And she would just have the legal fees and one home payment. (Cut up the CCards!)
I agree. I do not agree w/ the idea of him getting "counseling" or whatever at all. Once he made physical threats...that was a deal breaker.
Ugh, they really missed the mark, I hope this woman is OK and prioritizes getting out, getting safe, and getting law enforcement involved immediately.
Ramsey folks are good for the financial perspective. From experience….don’t tell ol’ dude your moves though. Just take them. The less he knows the better, and he told you all you need to know. Congrats on your plans moving ahead!❤️
You are correct if you give him the playbook he will start first, I don’t know what state she is in but it seems like the first one to get things filed in the “legal system “ wins.
They are really bad at giving financial advice as well. Maybe it will work for this woman.
But most people don’t have the means to invest or pay off debt like Ramsey suggests. They give advice for the Boomers economy we had 40 years ago. Not the Biden economy we have today.

How do I reach him ;
You can reach him by searching this names 👇
The marriage is over. This is your house. Get him out, change the locks and if he gives you any problems, call 911. Call an attorney.
Here’s real advice from a survivor: 1. She needs to go to her local domestic violence shelter for help and assistance and to document the abuse. Doesn’t mean she has to stay there. 2. Go to mom’s house. 3. File for divorce and a protective order. Get him out of the house. 4. Do not give him any threats, boundary setting, or ultimatums. Don’t let him know you are leaving. That’s terrible and dangerous advice. She needs a good lawyer. Not a marriage counselor. After all of that then she can deal with her finances and decide whether or not to sell her home
she chose him she deserves it
@@zvmZvm0102 no one deserves abuse. That’s why it’s criminalized
@@cassandrahuete5973 no one deserves to be hit by a car either, but yet some people walk out into traffic. No pity for stupid people who get themselves into these situations.
Never talk to a man and tell him that if your threatened. Bad advice. Sell the house and start over.
I know it is horrible but since I am the smartest and most handsome man on this planet, I just don't have time to focus on other people's problems.
This is how friends and family members get killed. You are going to drag your drama to your Mothers home. You’ll get family all riled up and then turn around and go back. If you are serious…call the police. Ask him to leave. Get a restraining order. And if all else fails find a safe place where he can’t find you as a cooling off period. I’m not suggesting you stay, but I’m just saying this can escalate quickly.
@cyoohoos 👍
True because someone somebody will be unalive and someone somebody will be in jail.
Go to a safe house. Get police involved.
Do not try to save your marriage.
Don’t live in your home; Sell it.
Get a divorce.
Change your phone number.
Make sure he never knows where you move.

No. Go somewhere he doesn't know about even if it's a campground
Yessss, Jade's right, talk to the people you trust, do not hide what's happening from the people who care about you. Abusers get away with murder - literally - because they convince you no one will believe you or care. Don't let anyone ever convince you that other peoplevwill think you're lying, because that's a lie.
Get out of this marriage???
But don't let him know about it.
Prepare quietly, money (cash), place to go, new phone etc.
I was a matchmaker and have encountered as clients but also while dating fife men who all were "widowers". Their wives fell off a cliff while hiking, a fiancé "suddenly" disappeared on X-mass eve leaving her fife year old behind, "walked away" without taking her purse or phone, "drowned" in the Caribbean and "suddenly" died in Mexico while on a "reconciliation vacation".
Only one of these men went to jail for 20 years.
It's an epidemic!
Fife
Sometimes in the South, brothers and cousins INVITE the abusive man to leave and it's advice the guy should take.
In some cases, the men will assist the jerk with packing and transportation.
She first needs a “restraining order “ to get him out of that house and away from her.
Then the financial situation becomes priority.

He’s clearly never been a woman in an abusive relationship. Don’t talk to him, leave. Change the locks, call the police. Don’t talk to him!!! Everything on text so you have a trail that proves threats. Period. Done.
This isn't a situation for counseling. Get him out, which could be tricky depending on how cooperative he is, since they're married. Then sort through finances.

@@Jaycv-dq3rg If (as you say) you are not an abuser, then that's a good thing. If she was a bad mom then it's a good thing that the judge gave you custody of the kids too. Sorry if I misjudged you.
Call him out? Jesus, help this woman. Ken does not get it.
This isn't about counseling, it's about getting out of there...
Don't tell him you are leaving, that is when you are most at risk with an abuser (including the 6-24 months afterwards). You do need to file charges, restraining order, non-molestation order, etc. Contact a specialist DV centre and they will walk you through the process and get you away safely. Also ask for a risk assessment to be done if they do them.
For those that are wondering "why she picked him", it is typical of abusers to hide their true selves until a commitment point, which in this case was marriage. Sometimes it is pregnancy/childbirth, other times it could be engagement or living together - it is any point whereby the abuser thinks you are his now, and will not leave him.
It is up to you if you sell the house. It depends how he is after being removed. If he is still causing trouble, sell up and move where he does not know you are (and also be vigilant at work, they show up at work places for post-separation stalking. Stay safe, best of luck.
Wow Ken. If she shares everything with the abuser, she’s in grave danger. Ken doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Terrible advice.
I disagree with the counseling suggestion here.
. Once threats are made then that is the persons character. Get out. Save potentially your life . In many ways .
I know from experience. Darkest time of my life . And that person went on to abuse others.
An abuser is an abuser is an abuser
Get a restraining order and stay in your own home. He's going to trash it if you leave. But start the proceedings to sell it.
No reason to sell.
@@jimmymcgill6778 I can think of one really good reason to sell the house and find a new dwelling. I'm sure you can't see it though (according to your comment).

Absolutely no way should you be encouraging her to save the marriage. Counselling wont fix a guy who threatens to physically hurt his wife. You need to kick his butt out, get a restraining order and start your new life on your own. Safe in body and mind!
@LisaLisa-in4vw I agree....let him get counseling on his own, he needs it if he is potentially violent or threatening his wife.

@@LisaLisa-in4vw That's what many of us have been asking. (What on earth is zvmzvm saying is what I was talking about).
@@Sheryl777 you think I want black men in jail?!
She really needs to speak to a lawyer because they've given her a lot of bad advice. She can't just throw him out. It's his home. It doesn't matter whose name is on the title or who owned it before the marriage. If he doesn't want to move out, only a judge can make him. A judge probably would give her possession of the home during the divorce, since it was hers before the marriage and it's been a short marriage, but she still needs to go before a judge.
The fact that they no longer use a joint bank account is also irrelevant. They are married. Their finances are intermingled legally whether they operate them that way in practice or not. If he's racking up debt right now, that's her debt.
Not entirely true, if she gets a restraining order, he has to leave immediately.
Georgia is not a common law property state , so it does matter who owned what before the marriage, and what was acquired during the marriage. But you’re right that this nothing to do with whether the bank account is shared or not.
It’s not her debt unless her name is on the debt as well.
@@jgray690yeah all she has to do is get a RO and he will be completely forced out of that home. If he is full on making threats, she should go that route.
And it's her story, every single women call for help claimed the relationship was "toxic"; none realize the toxin came from them.
Get out or get sole possession of your house. Get a lawyer. He can and might well destroy your house in your absence. Be very careful, this is the most dangerous time for you. You won't be working if you are injured or dead. Forget "counseling" with this guy.
I was thinking about this husband doing a lot of property damage once he realizes that the wife is leaving him and when she’s not there to be physically harmed he will go after her house instead
Thank you for helping us who are trying to fix the mistakes we've made for whatever reasons. I also appreciate Jade's empathy with the caller and being calm and focused on how to best help this individual. No disrespect to the other Ramsey personalities, but I am now convinced that Jade is my absolute favorite of the Ramsey personalities and it is always a joy whenever she is on screen (George, you are a close second).
Thanks again.
she needs 2 call the authorities NOW....leave!!!
Don't confront ANYONE who threatens you.
Call the cops when you tell him to get the F out. Never call an abuser out. EVER!
Sell the house
Pay your debts
Start over.
It's insane for someone to just say leave tonight, over a 2 minute phone call. No Context of what's going on in that household.
I understand that from a Christian perspective no one wants to see a marriage end in divorce and we really hope for restoration, but the reality is when you are dealing with a narcissist and/or abuser, they pretty much never change. The statistics are like less than 1% of abusers actually change, so it is very dangerous to put all the burden on the victim in these cases as if they are the ones not holding on tight enough, praying hard enough, being willing to "forgive" enough, which is actually just allowing someone to kill your spirit over and over, which God is NOT OK with.
Thank you to Jade for immediately taking this call seriously.
Don’t leave him in your house, don’t let him take it from you. Just throw all his stuff out, don’t warn him. Keep your car, can’t buy another for 6k. Good luck, you got this!
Wow, I was reading the comments correcting Ken and then I heard him dish out the bad advice and my blood started boiling. I hope that woman knows to ignore him and get to safety quietly and quickly.
If that was me I would leave him as soon as possible . He already threatened you so he is going to actually fulfill his threat. You have to be careful do not be by yourself alone in the house.

Dave did great with the other lady, in an unfolding situation.

No "or im calling the authorities" no "counseling". Call authorities now, get help with safety planning from a domestic violence outreach. Abused people are at highest risk when they leave so there needs to be a plan in place.

Do Not leave your home. He needs to leave
If you leave the home in a marriage some states and courts say you are abandoning the home thus giving it to partner / husband and lose claim to that home. Be very careful here.
This is not the time for a pissing contest. To save her life, she needs to temporarily leave her house.
This is why as owner of that home. Restraining order .
Establish legally you are not abandoning the home ( don’t forget they are married), thus losing her equity , possible ownership and any chance for survival financially as well should she lose the home to abandonment . It’s more in theory legally by actions.
OF COURSE safety physically is an issue.
Any Lawyer will tell you this. 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely none of this advice is acceptable. She talks to a lawyer today and files for divorce. She files a restraining order today, gets him out of the house today, goes to her mothers tonight. Once you threaten someone’s life, it’s over. The trust is gone and you’re considered dangerous.
I know it is horrible but since I am the smartest and most handsome man on this planet, I just don't have time to focus on other people's problems.
RUN. My marriage only lasted 11 months, twenty years ago.
I had my own home, my own car.
I left the marriage because of domestic violence.
I ended up packing all his belongings apart from his clothing after my ex husband stalling for 2 weeks. I arranged the movers.
Don't keep domestic violence a secret. Tell your family, friends and workplace. Let him know that EVERYONE close to you knows.
If he refuses to leave YOUR home, call the police.
It's hard but safety is the #1 priority.
He’s threatened her and they’re saying -stay married get therapy. You’re kidding me
Conservative Christian culture right there for ya. My best friend’s husband abused her and her own family convinced her to stay with him because “marriage is a covenant before god”.
Callers have a way out, going up mom’s house is a no brainer. They call in to get advice to go to parents’ house. Not everyone has the luxury of going back to a parents house to be rescued 🤦🏻♀️
That is terrible advice.
What Jade said: Tell everyone you love and trust!
You can tell them, but it doesn’t mean they will do anything about it.
My sister was with her husband for 8yrs he eventually killed her he is in jail now for 32yrs, but if they threatened they will probably follow thru, you are a very brave lady and don’t need or deserve this
I’m so sorry 😢
Please don't tell him the plans before you put them in action. An abuser is more lonely to act on the threat to prevent you from taking hold of your own life than any other time.
At least her income is great, Atlanta people stay buying cars they don’t need or afford lol…….lot of rich buyers as well. her situation is fucked until she gets away from him nothing else to talk about & I’m getting the vibe that she makes more than him
Get a restraining order and sell the home 🏠 and get divorce pay off debt do not reconcile with him
There's no point in her side hustling and attacking her debt until the divorce is handed to her, because ultimately he might take advantage of the improved credit score to dig them into a ton of debt.
In Atlanta too…there are a lot of women harmed by their partner so I pray she stays safe 🙏🏿

Go talk to a police detective and ask what she should do about removing him.
Ramsey Team: Yall need to get ur folks DV crisis training... This is happening alot and some serious mistakes are being made.. Please reach out and get some professional training..

If he was reasonable, this wouldn't have happened..
Guy chipping in with councilling 😂 He's reading the wrong book!
Don’t leave your house! Don’t tell people you have some where to go! That’s your home make him leave!
If she moves out he can just stay there it will probably take many months to get him out and she will be still paying for it 😮
Not necessarily, if she were to get the authorities involved and tell them about the threats, I believe he could bevremived from the home. She just needs to play smart and not give him the opportunity to follow through with his threats.
This Caller needs to have someone there with her when telling her husband what she's planning to do. A police officer or a friend - someone.

Tell him you’re putting the house on the market and you are filing for divorce because you threatened to hit me. Don’t tell him where you’re going. Protect yourself
Makes 6-10k a month, doesn't have savings, has incredible debt, and it sounds like the equity in her house is because of the covid spike. She's a wreck financially.
Ken just gave some really BAD advice... she should stay in the home and tell HIM to leave... no reconciliation.. it's too late for that
He drained her account, didn't want to do FPU....just leave. Counseling is a stall
It is a fact that the point of leaving and just after are the most dangerous times in a domestic abuse situation. Don't say anything, get out. And then after everything has cooled down you can think about if you want to have a controlled conversation with the man (NOT IN PRIVATE). Although I am not sure what would be left to say.
WRONG KEN!! Safety first! No if and or buts!!
This hits close to home literally, she’s in my area. If she offered him in her house, he’s gonna damage it
Easier said than done Ken. Her husband is not going to simply comply with her move out demands especially if he has no where else to go with his home being rented out by a tenant.
My husband has to leave under the supervision of the police and she needs a restraining order.And she needs to file for divorce.
Forget the debt now. Get divorce.
She needs to get a protection order, let the authorities go with her to kick him out. Nothing less.
Caller-LEAVE NOW! He will do it. And be sure the police know what's going on. Possibly a restraining order. He threatened you with physical harm. Your situation is escallating. Do what Jade is suggesting, but get out NOW for your safety.
Nope, get the police or some big men to be at the house with you when you tell him to leave. Never leave this guy in the house without supervision. Otherwise he can freak out and possibly destroy things. Then try and get a restraining order on him which might be hard since it is just threats so far, but probably you should try.
The last thing you want to do with a possible @buser is to let him know you're planning on leaving! Make your escape route and file for divorce.
It’s THEIR house, THEIR equity . THEY are married 😂
6K a month. Never have I ever made 6K a month. No kids at home, owns a house. She's better off than she knows. Kick him out, live your life.
