More details to this question:
Hello , I am going through 2 things at one . I might be filing For divorce as been in an abusive marriage for years . Also I was sexually assaulted few months back by a trusted person , this happened in another state .I went through a lot mentally and now have PTSD and just started talking about the assault . I am feeling stronger now and have found my voice now . If I were to file a report do I have to go to the state where it happened . Do I need to find a lawyer in that state . Its tough thinking I will handle 2 cases at once so still thinking .and also I didnt seek help immediately as was scared and ashamed as trusted person . Im not scared to report now as he has a bad history but it may not really end up in a case but atleast I can bring it into light ...Thank you so much
