Not divorced...yet.Kentucky This is a pretty in depth situation. I just need some advice on how I can do all of this safely. And I don't mean "scare" him with a piece of paper. My husband and I have been married almost 2 years and have an 18 month old child. He is physically and emotionally abusive to both of us. I've been trying to get out of this marriage for over a year when he first became violent with our daughter. He has won out several times because his family is on his side in all of this and has nearly convinced me that he will win custody of her since I am jobless and should we split up I will also have to live with my parents (in an already overcrowded home) and because I don't have a license and vehicle and he does. When we got married, a judge for the family courts (who usually does divorces) married us. Later we find out she is a friend of his family. I've been told I have to file for divorce in the county we live in. So I assume that would be a conflict of interest for that particular judge to hear our case, but I am not so naive I don't think she could sway those she works for since she is a close friend of his aunt's. Back in July of last year, he became violent and I called the police and they would not do a thing! They told me that it was NOT a case of simple assault and that I could file no charges if there were no bruises. They brushed us of and in my terror of having to stay with his man I was crying and asked so many questions and the deputy told me that if I "didn't shut up" he was going to arrest me. I don't want child support, I don't want the house or the car. I just want custody of my daughter. Where do I go from here? How can I be sure he won't ever be alone with her again? What are my options? |

| truthfully your option is to leave. contact a battered women's shelter and get out.

| I wanted to leave the day the police came, but they told us that I could not leave with our daughter unless he amicably agreed to let me take her. If I were to leave, I'd have to leave the state to go to my parents' home. He has told me that if I do leave, he will press kidnapping charges on me. As well he has been blackmailing me because a family member is in violation of his/her probation and he knows it. I did not go to a safe house because I have no one to take care of my dog. I know he would kill my dog if I left him here. I'm clueless where to start. I can tell that this place is not akin to giving supportive advice, just the cold hard facts. But I really need some idea of where to start. |
