I am 58 years old; If I leave my husband of 19 years (against his wishes) can I take our two children (16 yr. & 17yr. ) with me to Kentucky?
Or, will I need to get an attorney and legally file for a divorce before taking them out of California where we live. Both the children are encouraging me to go (we have many close friends in KY. who will support us) and do not want to be alone with their father ever! He is not pjysically abusive but exstremley controlling, verbally & mentally abusive.
