If you want to get your marriage dissolved, you can apply on your own. You can file the application in the family court and then arrange for the application to be properly served on your husband. In the application, you can record that he has your son in his custody. Once the papers have been served and you file the proof of service, then after 30 days the court will make an order dissolving the marriage. If you separated from your husband many years ago, you can apply for a partnership visa without divorcing your husband.
