My first impression is that you really need a divorce and to address the underlying cause of all the issues, the abuse. You also have the option to sue for damages related to the abuse.
But, from my point of view, you need to stop the abuse and the only way to do that is to remove yourself from the problem by way of perhaps a protective order and then divorce.
How do you find an attorney? You do your homework on the issues. I've practiced in those areas for over 30 years. You need to prepare to vigorously assert your claims and concerns to do what truly is in youe best interests. You need an attorney who helps you prepare a plan.
You need to get with an aggressive family law attorney who has experience with divorce, abuse, and difficult cases. I know what these cases are like, having handled a number.
Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I offer an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. I
f you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone my office Tuedsay morning (today is a holiday and the office is closed).
Don't wait any longer, give a call and let's getting working to protect your interests.
