    Default Filing For Divorce W/one Child And Threats...

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: FLORIDA.
    We've been married nearly 4 years and have a 3 year-old son. I want to file for divorce, but my husband constantly threatens that he'll take custody of our son because he and his family have more money than I do and his family will help fund the divorce. He's refused to move out of the house (both names on the deed, but mortgage is solely in his), and has refused even a trial separation. I can no longer continue to live under the same roof, but he claims that since he pays the mortgage in its entirety, that he doesn't have to leave. If i move out of the house with our son prior to filing for divorce, am I at risk for abandonment or other issues? There has been abuse, i've called the police several times, but he's never been arrested or formally charged, because I always cave in out of fear of what will happen next. He's an attorney...

    If he is a lawyer then odds are 99.99999 that you will need to hire your own lawyer to fight for your rights. Getting divorced is hard - staying married out of fear is harder.
