A temper tantrum is one thing, but waving a knife is assault with a deadly weapon. You need to seek out an injunction to protect yourself, your home, and your family. Do it now before someone gets hurt.
You can ask for an injunction. A permanent injunction will only occur after a hearing where you can explain to a Judge what has transpired. If granted, your spouse will have to leave the home and there can be other conditions such as anger management classes.
Feel free to contact my office if you need assistance with an injunction.
