If my husband gets very drunk and is abusive both emotionally and physically, what are my rights in a divorce?
My husband gets drunk several times a week to the point of blacking out often. When he comes home in the wee hours of the morning, he is abusive both emotionally, mentally, and physically. Although he's only bruised my arms, I don't have much proof of the damage he's done. My friends have witnessed him doing this to me in public. If I divorce him, how can I prevent him from gaining regular visitation or overnight visitation with my children?

I would say that you should start keeping a detailed log of events. Keep it very objective. What he was drinking, what he did or said, etc. He wants to control you and using the kids is a classic tool. If you can have witnesses and a notebook filled with detailed incidents I'm sure a judge would deem him unsafe for his children to be around him and only grant supervised visitations. Be sure that you request this during your hearing and have good, legitimate reasoning to back it up with.
