Hello I just got married 6 months before to a uk citizen. I'm about to get a divorce because he is abusive and lied about everything and used my money

Hello, Anonymous. Safety is always a vital factor, not just in divorce, but in life. If you feel threatened and worry that abuse will continue, you should contact whatever authorities will help keep you safe. As far as the divorce goes, physical violence is one thing that can complicate the divorce. Illinois is a no-fault state, so physical violence won't result in you getting more of the marital estate because of it; it will really only change the timeline the court requires before granting a divorce.
