Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

if my husband is a citizen of Bahamas and has conditional residency here, I am a U.S. citizen. We have a 2 year old daughter who was also born in NYC like myself. He is not working, I am the primary care giver of our daughter. He is not working, his mother assist us financially. I have been doing a course online. Our daughter is not in daycare or preschool. All my family is in NYC where I am from. I want a divorce like yesterday and would desperately like to move back home where I have my family and support system so I can get back on my feet. He says he will not divorce me and will take our daughter from me because his family has more money and he will hire a good lawyer. I am not trying to be spiteful, but he is not a good person and I have no support here. What are my chances of getting the divorce and being allowed to relocate ASAP. He has continuously threatened me, if I try to take our daughter. Please assist me and the steps I need to take and how good are my chances. Thank you in advance.

Agree with Mr. Slater. Also it only takes one person to get a divorce so if he says he won't allow it, what he says does not matter if you want the divorce you will get it.
