I'm currently in a relationship that has become unbearable. He's controlling to the point where I'm not able to work, I'm not able to possess any money save for $5-10. He seriously does not allow me to leave the room, and is refusing to buy furniture for any other room in our home. Every word from his mouth is an insult or screaming and it gets physical. I'm 5'0 and he's 6'6 so it should be understandable that I am afraid of him.
We've been together for 8 years (since I was 19 and him 27) but only just married about 2 months ago because I was an idiot and thought things might get better. Since then not only has he refused to go to couples counseling appointments I've made but refuses to allow me to go solo as well. I think it's because he doesn't want a third party pointing out the obvious abuse.
There's no way he will EVER allow me to leave in peace or with a dime despite the fact that we have a large "nest egg" in our home, all in cash. It comes out to about $10k but he's refused to use banks so it's just here.
I'm considering the idea of moving half of it out of this house, taking it somewhere safe then having the police escort me back to the house to get my clothes and whatever. The thing I'm scared of is him telling the police I stole it and arresting me.
I want to know if I have any legal right to that money. If I take half and basically say "fight me for it in court" is that within my rights? Am I doing anything illegal?
