You can consult with a Maryland family law attorney. That attorney can explain your options if you would like to try and get a restraining order on your husband and/or a divorce.

Unless he's willing to go for help, your only option may be to start the divorce process. Unless there is physical or mental abuse, the only option may be to file for a limited divorce.

If you want to discuss this further, we can meet in one of my offices in Baltimore or DC.
