My husband married me from my native country and I moved here with him after two years into our marriage.We have a 14 month old baby and he's been verbally and physically abusive towards me.I told him I want a divorce and would either leave back to my country(where I have a job) or move out but I'm was willing to allow him visitation rights. He said I could leave but wouldn't allow me take my son and he threatened that if we went to court the judge would give him sole custody because he has money and I have nothing.
But I can't leave my son since our house isn't even child proof,he grows Marijuana in the house and once when I left my son in his care he fell down the stairs.(I have people who witnessed this)I have no money no friends and no where to turn.My family back home is willing to get me a ticket back,but I can't leave my son behind and I don't want to get arrested for taking him away without my husbands consent.Legal aid says they can't give me free legal support because my husband makes enough money,and I should move out and get a job.But I don't even know how to do that since I don't know anywhere.
I desperately need some advice.
