Divorced mamas? I need advice.. I've decided I'm going to leave my mentally abusive husband (idk how or when yet) but I'm terrified of how he'll act when I tell him, or if he'll try to take our daughter from me. Before she was born we agreed if we ever split, custody would be 50/50. However, since she's been born, he has made threats to me during fights that he will do everything he can to keep her from me, and he'll make sure I never see her again, etc etc.
What is the separation/divorce process like, and what are my rights when it comes to our 10 month old?
Ps. I'm in CA.
