My wife and I had an intense argument where she punched me in the eye and called the police, fearing for her safety. She took out a protective order, and I am now removed from my home. Should I have taken a protective order on her? What are my financial obligations, as I cannot afford to pay for both my mortgage and an apartment in the DC metropolitan area? My preference is to ask the judge to relieve me from paying my half of the mortgage.
