Hi, I need urgent advice regarding my situation. I am a German national married to an Australian. I am 33 weeks pregnant. We have been married for a year (we married in Germany and later moved to Australia). My partner is an alcoholic and has been verbally abusive since the beginning of the relationship, but since the start of the pregnancy things have got much worse, and tonight he crossed the line and spit at me while threatening to hit me.
I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have taken the decision to leave him immediately. I will be buying my plane ticket back home tomorrow to fly in the next 3-4 days. I will be leaving most of my (material) things behind. I don’t care.
My reasoning for doing this in such a rushed way is avoiding him having parental rights to my child. My idea is to abandon Australia before my child is born.
Am I taking the right decision? What would be the consequences if I stay and have my child in Australia? Will he take it away from me? Will I be forced to stay here for the sake of shared custody?
I really need to make this decision quick, as my pregnancy is very advanced and the plane company WILL NOT let me fly over 36 weeks. I just want to go home and have sole custody of my baby back in Germany.
I am on a temporary partner visa and want to renounce to it.
Please help!
Thank you so much,
Laura
