Can a spouse be sued for emotional and physical abuse either before or after divorce?

Yes. Spouses are now allowed to sue one another without regard to their marital status if there is a proper claim. The old theory that a married couple were one and the same entity so suing the other spouse was the same as suing one's self has long since been abolished. Back then, a divorce had to come first, then the lawsuit. Spouses may also sue one another in cases of negligent injuries too, as for example if both are in a car accident with the wife driving and the husband getting hurt. (Of course that is the scenario I would use, not the other way around.)

Physical abuse versus emotional abuse?
The only difference between physical and emotional abuse is that the physical abuse can usually be seen and the emotional abuse is scarring your mind. Physical abuse is bruising, pushing, slapping, breaking bones, etc. Emotional abuse is when someone always says your fat, ugly, useless, stupid, etc. These are usually both happening as a pattern of abuse. Though widely thought of as happening to just women, there have been a lot of men who have suffered under women who abuse also. Either way, they are both abusive behaviors and have painful repercussions to the individual being abused.
