Q: Am I able to sue my ex fiance for punching me in the face, unprvpovoked, while staying with his parents in their home
Occurred in early may in California. He came to the room I stay in and became aggressive toward me yelling and pushed me into his mothers antique dresser twice then began to turn to walk away(I thought) then turned around and punched me in with his right fist hitting me on my left check. I went upstairs immediately and told his parents. Who did nothing but tell me I should move home or he would continue "to abuse"me. I did not go to hospital due to the fact it wasn't the first time, I didn't think it would leave my cheeck numb in places even now and I had no money or insurance. Now THEY want me to get out of their house with nowhere to go.

You can file a complaint against your fiance. If you are an immigrant you can use this to get an U Visa which will eventually lead to getting a green card after three years. Talk to immigration attorney and being the process as soon as possible.
