Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have been in relationship with him for four years. We just recently filed for marriage lic & but do not have access to it for he won't allow me to get or see it again. He's so controlling I have to leave soon.I met this man he was a charm,slowly i learned he has lotsof issues and i chose to forgive over and over and stay.I have developed a lifestyle from him controlling and taking care of everything. He made me lose my job 2 yrs ago and for reason I have not been the same motivated person. Now he's gotten two raises,learn how to manage his stocks from his new job of two yrs and his attitude has changed for the worse. I wanted to know was there any law that supported people in my situation. He know now I want to go I can't take it anymore his yelling mental abuse is wearing me down.My daughter does not need to be around this. He shut off my cell phone to punish me sometimes, shuts off the cable or threaten to shut other things off since the bills are in his name. he left my utilities past due unpaid when i believed he had a plan best for us tom ove into a house with him. There is so much going on and i think that now that he has his life together he will nothelp me but leave me in a homeless situation.

It's easier said than done. I encourage you and your daughter to make the split. If you have trusted friends or family, seek their support. Although you haven't been physically abused, it sounds like you're at the end of your emotional rope. See if there are any agencies in your community who can give you some emotional support, as well. Good luck to you!
