You probably can sue for emotional distress, but it will cost you a ton of money for nothing. The better thing to do might be to file a petition for protection from domestic violence. If and when you do, do not ramble on, just state the facts of the physical abuse.

The person petitioning can file a default with the court requesting to schedule a final hearing. A copy must be sent to the other party. The petitioner will then need to attend the final hearing.
