What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
So my husband has been emotionally abusive for years, he finally got physically abusive. I tried to leave with our son, he prevented me from doing so, grabbed my phone when I tried to call cops so I had to run to a neighbors to call them. They took pictures of my injury but I signed a paper declining to press charges. They let me leave with child. He is telling everyone that I attacked him. He is telling me to take myself off our joint bank account and that he will give me money separately. Also threatening to sell social security our son is no longer with him so to stop paying it. ( he is retired military- 100% disabled) I have no other income. He is telling me our child will suffer if I do not come back, that i am doing this to our family. i have documented some of this abuse, and have a recording of him threatening us.
I do not know what I am entitled to, what do to next. Currently staying at someone's house, but ideally I would like to leave the state eventually. Any help would be great. Thanks.
