"I fell in love and was naïve to think my life would be a dream: a perfect family, a perfect husband, a perfect home and a perfect life. We had fertility issues and trying to conceive was a struggle. My pregnancy was supposed to be a blessing but now all of this has been put into question. I've wanted this for years and now it's happening and I don't even know how I'm going to put a roof over my baby's head if I leave my husband. My pregnancy is high risk, I will need a lot of medical support during and after the birth and neither my parents nor I can afford it," she explained.

The woman reached out to Reddit user for advice and one of them suggested that she consult a divorce lawyer to evaluate her choices. What do you think she should do?
