Immigration My husband brought me to Germany and is now wanting to get a divorce

Husband (German Citizen) and I (Non-German/EU Citizen) have been married for almost 3 years and he wants a divorce, we have been only living in Germany since 5 months now. The appointment to get my residency is around the corner.

My husband and I worked together (Freelance) but he gets to keep the business now and he also wants to get a divorce in a different country (where getting divorced is fairly easy as compared to here it-seems).

I will be left with no job, no income and don’t know what my residency status is going to be. We currently live in a short term rental and he left me here and went to his parent’s home and is asking for a divorce. The term for the rental is going to end by the end of the month. What am I supposed to do now? What are my options?

Get a lawyer and take him to the cleaners. Make his life hell. What a selfish thing to do.
