What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I am married for 2 years. I was abused while pregnant and after in front of my daughter (not in common) and then little son (in common). It was financial, emotional, sexual and physical abuse, he was preventing from starting to work. It all began with me not allowing him to discipline my nearly 2 y.o daughter in not age appropriate way. Physical abuse towards me was choking, dragging,blocking my way, lifting and dropping and other, that I had numerous bruises all over my body, but it was no punching, no broken bones. I had my car keys, phone, purse taken away. I was waken up in the middle of the night with demand to talk and I had bright light put in my face. I have pictures of bruises (not from every occasion), text message prove about abuse with his relatives, not disposed smashed phone. My daughter has memories
. She experienced some hit due to being on the way. She was emotionally abused as to hurt me. The extent of abuse decreased, I don't know for how long, but I see that he is trying to control himself. He wants us to work out, but I absolutely hate him for all I have gone through and what my daughter had to witness . I am packed to go, literally. What has stopped me is that I don't know what legal battle is ahead for custody of my son in a long term? I understand that I probably will get 50/50 custody, but my problem is that I need to be allowed 1) travel or go to live to another state 2) Travel to visit my family, my parents who are outside of The USA for at least 4 weeks. I hate to think that the judge will not allow me to travel with my son outside of the USA , unless I have full custody? Or superior power to make decisions -legal custody? How do I leave my husband as far as legal aspect ?Do I file a TPO the day I leave? What is statute of limitations to submit the incidents of DM in court for DV? Do I just file for divorce? Separation? I am not in danger at the moment. I work as self employed part time and money will be very tight. Also I am with children full time, they don't go to daycare. I will not afford a lawyer, and he is a lawyer, so I have chances of being destroyed.
Would it be best to file for TPO (please refer to my available evidences)and legal separation , that I will keep my health insurance under his plan? Maybe any other benefits? Also he has pending workers compensation settlement. If I leave before he gets settlement, will I be able to get a piece of it in divorce proceedings? Don't get me wrong, I supported him a lot, he had no money as I got with him, and I feel I deserved a lot , and foremost I need to do well for my children.
