I don't know where you could go for legal advice but I just wanted to let you know that I think it is great that you are looking into your options. So many women stay in unhealthy relationships because they feel they "have to". It is great that you are taking a stand... which will only benefit your little girl to see her mom have a self esteem and take care of herself. I don't know if you have ever thought of therapy but what you are going through is such an emotional ordeal talking to someone to give additional support would be helpful. Good luck
