My ex-partner is harassing me and now he said he will create some case to take this further. He says I owe him money, but realistically - that money was paid as a gift from me to his families account and now after 1 years and 6 months he is asking back for this. So here is the thing, I was psychologically abused and financially abused in the 2.5 years I was with him. I have documentation proving so with my therapist and statements. So I reached to a local lawyer with this. The lawyer tells me let him file to case. Cause it is expensive to hire a lawyer and maybe he wont file the case - I find this absurd :) This is causing so much stress. Then I tell my lawyer if this reaches a case then I want to counter sue back for both psychological and financial abuse. But, the lawyer said it wont pen out here in Norway. I am sorry but I really need some proper help here or advice. I am an immigrant here who has a PR in Norway. I live alone and I dont know the laws very well in Norway.

Hi, first of all; you describe a very stressful situation both emotionally, and also with regards to finances. I assume that you are asking for both legal advice and emotional support in this difficult situation. Regarding legal help, you could try to contact JURK, who provide legal counselling for women free of charge. Here you will be able to get a second opinion on what to do in your situation.
You are saying that you are an immigrant and living alone. If you have friends, fellow students or colleagues, and if you are close to some of them, I recommend to seek social and emotional support. Standing alone in this may be stressful, and talking to close friends may be helpful. You also have a possibility to seek help from your welfare organisation for students.
I hope some of these recommendations will be useful for you!
All the best, the psychologist.
