Yes — you do have legal options if you are facing abuse at home. If your wife and adult son are physically attacking or threatening you, this is considered domestic violence, and your safety comes first. You can: Report the abuse to the police immediately if you feel unsafe. File a complaint for protection against physical harm. Apply for separation or initiate divorce proceedings through the Family Court. Request that they live separately if the situation is harmful or dangerous. Since your wife is earning and your son is an adult, the court can consider separate living arrangements. It’s best to speak to a family lawyer who can guide you based on your situation and help you take proper legal action. If you feel in immediate danger, please contact the police right away.
