Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew what would happen with custody if I left my controlling, verbally abusive partner?
We have 1 child and another on the way any day. He is very controlling of me and shouts and swears and calls me names most days and blames this on me. This happens often in front of our child.
I have documented many of these situations for the past year and known need to leave. The problem is I have no family here and would need to take the children around 5/6 hours away to stay near family for support.
I haven't left yet as I am so scared he would have access to the children and I don't trust him alone with them and can't bear the thought of being away from them for anytime at all
Whet do I do? I have been thinking about going to the police or a lawyer and asking them to read my diary entries and advise in what would happen with the children before I make a decision as I am so scared
