Answer 1

i was in a domestic violence relationship for 61/2 years. i was 17 years old when it begun. i walked around with blackeyes, busted lips, bruises you name it. and now a 91/2 year old son. who i couldn't let grow up in that kind of environment. i was scared too always looking over my shoulder, scared to do anything or go anywhere. he threatened my life and my family. i turned to authorities and let them handle it ,he was on drugs really bad and was capable of anything. he got prostituted twice did a year both times.now he's serving a 12 year sentence on other charges. i've moved on with my life now i'm engaged and have been with this angel that was sent from heaven for 41/2 years now, treats me wonderful and my son adores him that's his dad.. my best advice to you is to get out and stay out. tell the authorities everything they need to know about the threats everything. surely they will help you out somehow. talk to a domestic violence advocate.they can help also. good luck with everything and be strong and not afraid.

Answer 2

My cousin is going through an abusive marriage she has shown our police dept pic of the bruises as well as her police report. But our county has done nothing about it they put her right back in the home with the abuser. There is children involved that have heard their dad threaten their mom in many fights they are scared of him. Does anyone know who can help with this situation. We have tried the Attorney General, all they can do is compensate her for the counseling, medical bills and anything else involving the domestic violence case. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 3

Call the judge's clerk and bailiff. Tell them about the threat, and that you want to be protected. You'll have to go to the court on your own, but judges are very cautious about the people in their courtrooms. You can fill out a restraining order while you are there,for more legal standing. If he violates it you can have him arrested.

The catch of course is that he has to violate it first.

Have you considered moving? Even to a women's shelter for a couple of days might help.

Answer 4

Stay the night in a hotel tonight, or at a friends house. Dont tell anyone where your at.
The day I was supposed to go to court over my ex-bf's DV, my tires got slashed, all four of them. I think his sister did it but I couldn't proove it. I got to court a few minutes late because I had to call a taxi.
Stay safe, and dont let anyone know where your at except your immedate family.

Answer 5

Would it be possible for you to call the local State Attorney's Office and ask for an advocate to go with you? Or perhaps you can get a police escort, a civil standby?

Answer 6

Have you filed a petition for an ex parte protection from abuse order? What has the attorney handling your custody petition recommended to you?

Answer 7

Now you see the light. all you need to do is walk out the door and look out into the world and realize that our government as well as the president and our society have done the same. Kill him first. Make it look like suicide. Trust me. you'll thank me when you're not dead.

Answer 8

Talk to your parents
