In Illinois one of the grounds for divorce is physical abuse; another is emotional abuse. A one-time physical event may or may not be adequate but if there is a pattern of abuse including intimidation that has resulted in the physical event, that may be enough. You need to consult an attorney to discuss all the circumstances to determine whether you have adequate grounds.
