What is the least expensive and fastest way to get a divorce from my husband who was abusive to me?
My husband has been arressted for domestic violence, I filed a restraining order. We have a civil court date and seperate criminal court date. I want a divorce but when should I file? And what is the most inexpensive and fastest way to do so? The only thing I am concerned about is custody of our 4 year old child. Also will his criminal record if charged affect his custody case? I am afraid of him not settling for me getting full custody of our daughter, I just want a peaceful divorce. I do not want to get ugly or dirty.

Given the domestic abuse issue with your soon to be "ex", the fastest way to get a marital dissolution is for you to retain a family law attorney to deal with the division of the assets and liabilities of the marriage besides custody and child support issues. As to expense, you could do the filing and deal with the court matters but at what cost on you emotionally?
Hence, the least expensive and fastest way for you to get what you desire is for you to retain a family law attorney to assist you in the matter you have written about.
