I Want To Divorce My Us Citizen Husband But We Have A Baby Together

Four years of dealing with stonewalling after every fight (it’s gotten progressively worse) and one baby later, I have decided (a little too late) that if I stay in this relationship any longer, I will lose whatever sanity I have left. He is a US citizen, I am a green card holder. My only concern is my child because there’s no way in hell I am leaving without my baby.

Things have gotten worse post baby and this is not the kind of relationship I want to model for my child. How do I go about this? I am terrified of my baby being taken away from me. I don’t know if that’s an irrational fear but I am not from here so I don’t really know how any of this works. I am a SAHM which again complicates things. I do have some money saved up but I am not sure if it’s enough. I am afraid he will stonewall me in order to stop me or worse, get aggressive because no way in hell he’s letting our baby go with me. His entire family will back him up. I have no one and I don’t want things to get ugly.

I am lost.
