Re: need to know my rights as a victim of domestic violence

Your question is far too broad to allow a knowledgable answer. There are books written on the subjects as you present them.

However, the situation sounds like you have limited financial resources, have been physically abused and charges have been brought against your spouse. I expect you would like to live apart for a while and recieve some support and maintenance from your abusive spouse.

SC has a pro bono program for those who qualify because of limited finances. Call 1-803-799-4015 to speak to the SC Bar Association about the Pro Bono program.

It would take hours to type all the law on these areas. You need to ask specific questions and explain your situation with each question.
