My (31f) bf (37m) is verbally and physically abusive. We live in CA and I am able to leave and stay with my mom for as long as I need to. I’ll have to leave while he’s on a business trip, as I’m scared of what he will do if he’s present. But he has told me before that if I leave with our baby (6 months old) that he’ll have me arrested for kidnapping. I need to leave. I have never reported his abuse but a couple people close to us are aware of it. What are my options? I will not leave without my baby. He’s yelled at the baby for just crying out being vocal. I’ll stay forever if I can’t take him with me. I can’t leave him here.

Go to a women’s shelter, they will help you!
The last time I checked, in California, if you aren’t married, you have full legal custody as the mother. I am not a lawyer, but my friend has an abusive sperm donor as one of her kid’s fathers.
