Divorce information needed. I am looking to divorce my husband due to mental and verbal abuse...?

Question

I live in PA and am wondering if there are any divorce attorneys that can recommend what my first step is. My husband still lives with me and my 3 kids. My home town is 20 hours away with absolutely no relatives on my side closer than that. I also work part time since my son is 4 and at home. Any advice on the subject would be helpful because I really don't know what my rights are or how to go about doing this. Thank you.

Answer 1

What proof do you have of the abuse, IE. has anyone else witnessed it?

and a whole list of other things
