Q: My husband has anger issues and has been getting increasingly worse.
Most recently, he exploded at my two children (from my first marriage- ages 9 and 11) to the point that they are afraid to come back to our home. (I share custody with my first husband and they are currently staying with him) He yelled at my son (11) that he would "knock him the f**k out". I am in the process of filing a PPO, however, since we are married and own a home together, is there any way that I can make him leave/move out of the home immediately so that my children can come home and not be afraid of him being there?
A: Yes, but PLEASE see a local family law attorney immediately. There are legal and practical consequences to consider that an experienced and skilled family law attorney will know and advise you on.
