On April 1, 2009, Xiaoxian (pseudonym) met Xiaosheng (pseudonym). Soon after, under Xiaosheng's coaxing, Xiaoxian began living with him. On April 1, 2013, Xiaoxian and Xiaosheng registered their marriage at the civil affairs bureau in Xiaoxian's place of household registration. In 2010, Xiaosheng started using drugs. In February 2014, Xiaosheng voluntarily separated from Xiaoxian, renting a place in Lezhujiao, and began subjecting Xiaoxian to emotional cold violence, which she endured silently for years. By 2016, Xiaosheng frequently escalated to physical violence, beating and kicking Xiaoxian. In July 2018, Xiaoxian and Xiaosheng completely separated and lived apart. Throughout their marriage, Xiaosheng completely disregarded the feelings of Xiaoxian and her daughter, maintaining long-term improper sexual relationships with multiple women, and even fathering a son with one of them. Such behavior severely deviated from and abandoned the responsibilities and obligations of a husband and father, ignoring legal norms and moral boundaries. Xiaoxian finally woke up and decided to escape this fiery pit. She came to Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm to seek help from Lawyer Li Zuolin and Assistant Wang Shuang, hoping they could assist her with their professional legal knowledge. Drawing on his years of experience, Lawyer Li told Xiaoxian that the court might not grant a divorce on the first attempt, but she should not lose heart. Given the current situation, if the couple remained separated for a year after the first judgment took effect, the court would likely grant the divorce. As expected, things unfolded as Lawyer Li predicted. After the first judgment denying the divorce, Lawyer Li advised Xiaoxian on how to preserve evidence of their separation. Following a second lawsuit, the long-awaited divorce judgment finally came through. Xiaoxian regained her freedom and obtained custody of her daughter. She returned to Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm, holding a silk banner and expressing her gratitude repeatedly. This time, she was no longer frowning but smiling as she stepped into a new life.
