Ok here is the story, We got together in 1995, had our son in 1997, got married in 2003, left because of abuse in 2005, moved from the city where we lived due to the safety of myself and my child. He told me he would never let me get a divorce from him. What steps do I need to take to get a divorce from this man but also feel safe throughout the process? If possible I don't want to have to go to the courthouse, because either him or his family will follow me to my home. He is suposed to go to court in August for non-payment of his support order. I am currently looking for employment so I can not afford a lawyer. What kind of help is out there for the situation I am dealing with? I do not have a restraining order against him because at the time of the abuse I left him to move to a shelter, I did not recieve the court papers about the case until after his court date. I have had to move 3 times since becasue he has found us and put threats on our lives. What can I do to get this man out of my life, before something happens to either myself or my children? Is there anyone that can help guide me in the direction I need to go. I am loosing myself and have had 2 nervese breakdowns because of this. I am physically, mentally and emotionally broke down and can not take anymore. I want a better and safer life for us now, my kids have been through enough. Please someone help me.
 
First of all you need to get a restraining order. You cannot expect to claim abuse with no police report and no RO.

Have you tried calling legal aid? Sounds like you might qualify.
