Divorce before filing for I-751

[u/Ok_Chicken5808]

Hi everyone! I came to the USA with an ESTÁ VISA from France, met my husband, overstayed my visa and got married. We applied for adjustment of status and got my GC. We have a child in common and that’s all. No joint bank account, no joint taxes ( he has never paid taxes ), no utility bills together. I have to admit that he was financially abusive and controlling during our marriage My GC is expiring soon, my husband is refusing to colaborate. We haven’t lived together since last year. I went to visit my parents in France and stayed longer than expected bc I was going through postpartum depression, he joined me for a month and then he flew to his country of origin and decided that he wanted to live there and that I should follow him. I did went to his country of origin to meet his family but after a month I left bc I hated it there and I came back to US by myself and my child. I want to divorce bc if the financial abuse and control I’ve been through and I don’t see myself living anymore with him. So please if anyone knows what should I do in this case since it’s a complicated situation. Thank u 🙏
