I am planning to divorce my husband
My marriage has been toxic already for a long time, that even my mother in law will message me because his 51yr old son is crying to her about our marriage. I am just an immigrant and able to get here in US because of my husband. Most people will think, I am a gold digger because I am just poor back in my country but ever since I moved here, I never ask anything from my husband. I have been working and contributing in the house and buy things for our son. Portion of my income goes to our joint account. I never been a financially burden to him. But whenever we have an argument he will always bring up where I came from. When I speak my mind about something or for our son, he will always make me feel I am wrong and he is right. We just live like roommates and there are times my son witnessed our fight and crying so bad. He is also a hoarder and our house looks like a storage room already.
I am just afraid that when I file a divorce, the court won't be on my side because I am earning less than my husband and I don't have a house or family here.

Divorce in all states entitles you to either equitable or equal division of marital assets. What state are you in and was the house bought before or after you got married? Are you a citizen or on a green card?
Which state do you live in? Don’t move out! The state will decide if you need to leave or him, and will take into account if you are primary care taker. If you move out ahead of time, it won’t be a question.
