My question involves a marriage in the state of: north carolina
My husband and I have been married since 2007. We have a 5 yr old son together. Throughout the marriage he was abusive mentally and physically. He had multiple affairs but his latest affair lasted about 6 months and the girl ended up pregnant. She recently had the baby and is taking him for paternity and child support. I have tried and tried to make this marriage work but I can not trust him or even stand to be around him. I want to file or a divorce but I want some advice on what to ask for? Should I go for alimony? He has a very bad temper and one of the reasons I stayed so long is because I didn't want him alone with our son. I also have a 13 yr old from a previous relationship and he also feels my husband is a danger. Over the years when he has left is to go party and have affairs I have kept the threatening txt messages etc he has sent me. Will that prove he is literally crazy and is a danger when I file for this divorce and custody comes up? Thanks for reading. I've just never been through this before and am needing some insight
