Dear Pastor,

I have been married for the past twelve years, but things are not what I thought they would be. My husband left me when I was pregnant and went to work in another State. I had to fight on my own with the help of God and relatives. He visits when he feels like and he has never asked me to come and live with him.

I prayed and fasted and my God helped me and my children to overcome the set back in our lives. We have being separated for the past six years and God has lifted me up and placed me in another State with a lovely home.

Now, I'm filing for divorce and he doesn't want to sign the papers. He doesn't want to pay child support. I need to turn a new page in my life and move on without even using his name. I promise myself never to get involve with another Jamaican man.

Please pray for me and my children that God will continue to put food on the table and keep my family strong in His grace.

A.B., Georgia, U.S.A.

Dear A.B.,

Your husband may refuse to sign the divorce papers but he can only do that for a while. If you do not want him, he cannot stop the divorce. Your lawyer will guide you. He left you and went on his own and you had to struggle. He wants to come back like a little puppy lapping on milk but you don't want him back. You have very good reasons for not taking him back. God has been mighty good to you, give God praise.

Let this wicked man stay where he is. Insist however, that he gives child support.

Pastor
