If your husband stabbed you and is in jail, you can get a divorce. If he is going to be gone more than a year, you can use the one year separation as grounds for divorce, which is the easiest way to get a divorce in SC, or if not, you could use spousal abuse as the grounds, though it requires more proof. I am guessing this was not the first time he hurt you, so if you can get people to testify for you saying he hurt you before, or if there are other police reports where he was arrested or investigated for hurting you, you might be able to use spousal abuse as the grounds for divorce.
