You cannot deport your husband, that's the job of immigration authorities and they only do so under extreme circumstances. An accusation of domestic abuse isn't grounds for deportation. If your husband is physically abusing you then you call the police and obviously you should leave the marital home. If he "perturbs" you or "disrupts" your studying these are neither grounds to level domestic assault charges against him nor grounds for deportation.
Divorce before coming to the US so he can't get an F2 visa in the first place.
Or I guess you could divorce once you reach the United States, at which point he would be out of status. That doesn't necessarily mean he is going to leave, once he arrives, you can't control that. So the only thing that really makes sense is not to bring him over.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, then perhaps you may want to consider seeking legal help to deal with that, before embarking on a cross-continent adventure.
Domestic violence is a serious offense in the U.S. There is a visa category reserved to victims of domestic violence who prove (with lots of evidence at times graphic) satisfactorily to U.S. government authorities that the abuse is so severe they need to seek refuge in the U.S. If this is your situation, you may want to find a qualified immigration attorney who can help on this.
As far as the visa issue is concerned, even if you do get an F-1 visa, your husband still has to apply for his own F-2 visa. It is not automatically given; he still has to go through the interview just as you do. If you truly feel threatened by him, you may want to mention it to the consular officer who interviews him - as long as you are prepared to prove your allegations. You cannot falsely accuse someone if you don't have some sort of proof. Remember that in the U.S. people are innocent until proven otherwise.
The other 'unknown' in your post is the nature of your husband's offenses. Does he beat you or physically/mentally abuse you? Or does he leave the toilet seat up, his socks on the floor and the cap off the toothpaste tube? One is a serious thing; the other one is just part of being married.

If he beat her, she'd probably have said that. She's a graduate student and not shy about discussing her husband in cyberspace (since she's told us plotting to deport him).
OP: Please don't task our police and immigration system with fixing your marrital problems. That wouldn't make you a very considerate guest in our country.
I am assuming that this is a serious situation, and that the OP's use of less impactful verbs comes from her unfamiliarity with the nuances of the English language. Let's see you try to describe assault and battery in Slovak.
The immigration system will not be involved in your domestic problems unless your husband is convicted of a crime.
If you are being abused, you should report the abuse to the authorities in your country and seek to separate yourself from your husband before coming to the United States.
If this is not possible you should try to prevent your husband from accompanying you to the United States by not submitting a visa application for him.
If this is not possible, then you should report the abuse to the police in the United States and seek to separate yourself from your husband.
You need to separate yourself from the abusive or dangerous situation as soon as possible. There are shelters and support organizations available for victims of domestic violence, regardless of nationality. However, you should not depend on these resources as they are not necessarily fully-funded or fully capable of protecting you from an abuser. Have a plan in place to prevent contact with your husband on your own.
You will want to prevent him from obtaining any information on where you will live, study, or be while in the United States so that you can avoid him.
You can utilize the police and social services as needed, but these systems are not as reliable as your own planning.
