Wow...tough question. I'm going to try to give you facts and not my opinion.
First of all, that's not a question anyone but the persons involved can answer.
Should they: well in my opinion yes.
Will they: That's up to the persons involved in the marriage.
Abusive relationships are often a pattern for those who have been abused in their childhood. The best example I can give you is what psychologists tend to call a love map.
Someones "love map" is what sets for them in their mind the norms on how a person should give and receive love. A persons love map is usually set by the time they are age 5.
The victims of the abuse often are only used to receiving love in an abusive way, and don't know that there is anything different out there, or when they find something different, it doesn't make sense to them.
This is why many times the victim of abuse will actually choose to stay in the abusive relationship. Because they in their hearts do not know how to give or receive love in any other way.
I'll close with this, I sincerely hope this question is just a question, and that you yourself or someone close to you is not suffering this situation. If you are, know that you aren't alone, and that there are people out there that do care. And the only thing you ever have to do is choose not to put up with it.

How can you get a divorce easily with your husband in jail for domestic violence?
Unfortunately, divorce is never easy. Still, you can divorce your husband if he is in jail for domestic violence. Papers are sent to the jail just like if he had a physical address. He has a right to contest but just because he is not able to be in court the day of the divorce does not mean it will not be granted. My divorce was finalized 21 days before he got out of jail and he was not permitted to come to the hearing. I don't know who makes that decision. My lawyer did the paper work so I'm not really sure how it was all handled.You DO NOT need his permission to Divorce him.Just go file for a divorce and talk to an Attorney tell them everything.He does NOT have to be present in court or sign anything you can file and get it done.

Is a married woman that is a victim of domestic violence with children of his entitled to half of her husband's money?
She should be. If she wanted a divorce because of the violence, then she could go to court about this, if then proof is found about the violence, then she will be entitled to half of the money. Normally if they did divorce she would get half of the money but if they signed a contract before marrying of if they divorce then their own possessions, money etc do no be shared, then she would have to go court. Answer In community property states, you are entitled to at least half. However, in some states (Texas!) it is difficult to get what you deserve, particularly if he has the money for a superb lawyer. Domestic violence, documented by pictures and court records, may help, but still you have to calculate the cost of your time and any money you have.
