Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Domestic violence

My husband is abbusive, just last month he threated to kill me. The police have been to our house several times, and they have taken police reports. I want to move and leave the state and take my 9 year old daughter with me without telling my husband, because I am affraid of what he might do to us. We own a 1 family house. My questions are, if I leave the state without telling him would I be in trouble, will the law consider that kidnapping? And once I leave I would like to file for divorce, should I start the process before I leave the state of New Jersey?

You need to file for removal in NJ. I suggest you get an attorney to help you make sure everything is done right. You may also want to file for a TRO if he is threatening you.
