Question #101: I got married in CA , march 22, 2002. Since then my husband lost his job twice. In 3 years I have stayed 7 months + 9 months together. He has returned to his home country since April 2004. We both are unhappy with the way things are. He often exhibits violent rage, which makes me afraid to stay with him. He now does not plan to return any more. I want to move on with my life. I will be moving to NY soon. Where & when can I file for separation?
