Divorcing abusive husband

First time posting. I'm married to a terribly abusive emotionally and physically man. He's hurt me on numerous occasions, threatened my family, hit me, spat at me, smashed all my stuff. I tried to help him, visited the doctors with him explained what he had done, they told me to lock myself in a room when he started on one of his episodes. He seemed to turn a corner after this and had counselling, took medication. I came in to some money and stupidly invested in to a business with him. It worked for a bit, but the old him returned with a vengeance. I've left him and am now at a point I want a divorce and a new life but know he won't let that happen. I want my money out the business, I've a paper trail of all I paid for. Everything came out of my bank and he never paid for a thing. I'm just frightened he will sell up and pocket the money then come for me if I don't get this sorted, but I need to do so without alerting him. Is this possible? It's a mess and he's a very dangerous man. Any suggestions or advice will be gratefully received.

With someone so abusive you really need professional legal advice.

Absolutely what PPs have said. Lawyer up and fast.

And remember, it's not his choice to let you go. It was your choice to leave. Keep strong and forward focused. He will never change.

Good luck!
