Question:
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barkartu,
I want a divorce from the man I married but I am not allowed to have contact with him and I’m not even sure if he’d be willing to grant me an Islamic divorce.
I was wondering how to get one. And if I file for an American divorce and he signs it would that count?
Please forgive me, and please do dua for all of us. That maybe one day we could be in the presence of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s.
Thank you.

You just need to file a civil divorce which will count as final Islamic divorce provided you have a compelling evidence against your husband.
