You need to consult a criminal lawyer. Having been out of the jurisdiction may very well toll the statute of limitations.
I'm assuming you mean for criminal charges. In that case, "spousal abuse" does not apply because there is no such criminal charge in New York. Rather, if your spouse hit you or threatened you, the crime of assault is applicable, regardless of how the perpetrator is related to you. Assault breaks down into 3 categories: Assault in the 1st Degree; Assault in the 2nd Degree; Assault in the 3rd degree. Assault in the 1st degree is a Class B felony and the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges is 5 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. Assault in the 2nd Degree is a Class D felony and the statute of limitations for criminal charges is 5 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. Assault in the 3rd Degree is a Class A misdemeanor and the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges is 2 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. As far as what constitutes the three different degrees of assault in NY (1st degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.10; 2nd Degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.05; 3rd degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.00), it's very complicated and there are a lot of criteria involved. I could reprint the text of the relevant laws here, but it'll go on forever and just look like a bunch of gobledy-goonk. Therefore, if the offense against you occurred within the last 5 years, I suggest you contact the police and tell them exactly what happened so that they may make a determination as to what degree of assault you're talking about here and respond accordingly.
