How can a woman stay safe from her husband if she has not divorced him but living alone with his child?

Answer 1

If the lady is living in India she can get protection order from the court against the husband under the Protection of women from the Domestic Violence Act,2005 if he is troubling her by inflicting any mental harassment to her.She can also claim maintenance for herself & her child as well as place of residence under this new enactment.

Answer 2

The laws surrounding domestic violence fall short in actually protecting a victim. Lets face it the harsh reality is that a protective order is a piece of paper.Depending on what State you live in will help determine what penalty a man will face if he abuses a woman. I am fortunate enough to live in a Conservative state that takes domestic abuse very seriously.
Each state has victim advocates that are there to assist you. You just need to reach out. Everyone has a right to feel safe and be safe.

Answer 3

If the husband is violent and she is afraid of him: Go to the police and demand him and get a restraining order as soon as possible!!
But the best solution is: Starting a new life, move away. Because it makes no good knowing that he might be possibly always around.
Go away and settle somewhere else where you should start as soon as possible with the divorce demand.

Answer 4

Weird situation, but most advisable would be to leave the city, see if you can have the child to be with you legally and once u have done this u can live elsewhere and start over, however, make sure if you change your residence, you only inform the people u trust of your whereabouts as this will ensure security, just in case u need someone or vice cersa. All the best

Answer 5

a protection/restraining order is great but its only a piece of paper that relys on his fear and the honor systems (he wont go near you).

i would get one any way, just so it was on record, but you will have to be careful everywhere you go and at home.

extra locks, a watch dog, friends coming over to stay with you are all important if you can.

i was so scared (i could hardly sleep) and have never been that scared in my entire life. but i made it out, and in one peice (so far).

i have since become an advocate. check out my site, i have lots of info on it for help, abuse, your reps, etc.

Answer 6

I would say restraining order..just make sure everythings locked up at all times, because im sure he used to live there and knows how to get in. keep your phone by you so you can call the police and let your neighbors know whats going on, so they can keep an eye out for you. good luck hun.

Answer 7

a restraining order is step one, change the locks, get a security system of any kind, if you file a restraining order some systems like dpt will give you a system free. keep accurate records of EVERY contact with him every one even phone calls, record them if you can. all this is very important good luck god bless

Answer 8

What is the fear, in the first place? If there is any reason to suspect violation, police, courts etc. must be approached beforehand for a restraining order.

Answer 9

Definitely get a divorce. Why put yourself and child at risk.

Answer 10

Get a restraining order from the police. If you are afraid of him and he has uttered threats a peace bond might also be in order.
Do not wait or be afraid to step forward. go to the police station and talk to someone......
