Re: divorce

My suggestion to you is to protect youself and even more importantly, the kids. It is grounds for divorce to be absent for more than one year, but so is extreme cruelty. He may be "guilty" of extreme cruelty. Each of the parents has equal access to the kids absent a court order. Therefroe, unless he has filed for divorce, you may take the kids out of state.
