Answer 1

*Education is the key!
Not only so the abused knows their rights!, but also the abuser needs the education to know that abuse need not be a way of life!
Once caught up in abuse it becomes so much a part of daily life that it becomes the norm! It gets to a point where one can no longer see their way out!

Answer 2

Abandonment is a specific legal term that is used to describe a situation where one spouse has left the marriage and/or the home, and they cannot be found, they have not provided support or have not had any contact with the other party in a year or more. Merely leaving the marital residence to avoid hostility or other negative circumstances is not abandonment. Abandonment occurs when a spouse ends cohabitation without justification, without the consent of the other spouse, and without the intent of renewing cohabitation. In many states, to be legally considered abandonment, the spouse has to leave for at least a year.

Answer 3

I am....unfortunately...the police are sometimes stuck between a rock and a hard place..they get called for spousal abuse, then the spouse won't press charges, sooooo,,,nothing is done..I think it's come a long way from years ago..

Answer 4

I am in favor of toughening laws against all forms of abuse.

Answer 5

just send the woman beaters my way, I have a SPECIAL way to take care of them and trust me once Im done with em they'll be afraid to look at at woman the wrong way. I have no tolerance for a man that hits a woman. come put your hands on someone who can really hit ya back.

Answer 6

Toughening? No, that is not enough. I think the law should be..."if you abuse someone who is weaker than yourself, you go to prison, and let the criminals who occupy the cell with you, and cage decide your fate!"

Answer 7

ppl who abuse other ppl need to be put away and helped to understand why there messed up. they should be treated like a sexual offender and not allowed to be married again or if it could be done they should not be allowed to live with somebody... these ppl are sick in the worst way. love ya bo and angel.
to sglmom.. get a gun and protect yourself sweety.

Answer 8

No. Spousal abuse comes from both of you making poor choices in your life. You made your bed now, lie in it. If laws that are already on the books were enforced you wouldn't need to make up new ones and even if you did they probably wouldn't be enforced either.

Answer 9

would neglect be a form of spousal abuse?

yeah Im for that as long as they make it harder for women who arent really abused to make that call ( it happens alot in CA )

Answer 10

I am DEFINITELY for toughing the laws against Spousal Abuse (especially as the survivor of a short disaster of a marriage to an abusive, violent sociopath).

One additional thing: When you DIVORCE these types of spouses (and they become ex-spouses) then ...

NO MATTER what you do ... no matter how many Restraining Orders or Protective Orders or Divorce Decree Permanent Orders are put in place ...

They CONTINUE to TORMENT you over the years (and for me, it is about 2 decades since ...

Stealing your identity, BURGLARIZING (your home, car, office, etc), abusing you/the children (and yes, he was convicted), damaging property (Home, Car, etc), STALKING you (when he doesn't feel like working), not providing child support (but complaining to the court about how his "Parental Rights" are being interferred with), frivolous lawsuits, constant dragging into court, etc etc etc.

What is SICKENING is the FACT that Law Enforcement does NOT give one bit of care -- won't respond, and even when they do ... the officer (who I had to DEMAND a police report to file when MY Ex BURGLARIZED MY HOME in August 2006 once again) said:

"I don't know ... looks like he was an "invited guest".

How in the world can they get to "invited guest" from Restraining Orders, PERMANENT Protective Orders, and everything else that shows the ex has a VIOLENT, abusive, stalking streak in him ...

Then ... the gaming of the court system .. he NEVER has the funds to provide one penny for child support, but how come he can continue to pay mega-bucks (Many Tens of Thousands of Dollars) to pay for an Expensive Private Lawyer who continues to torment me when the ex is caught stalking, whatever -- or is on unemployment and thinks he can get more $$$ out of me YEARS after the Divorce!

Then ... the forced visitations (with the children who were ABUSED by the ex), the threats on MY Private (and unpublished -- constantly changed) phone number, the IDENTITY THEFT (because I HAVE an income and ... as a result of Honorable Service -- a Military Pension as well) ... the THEFT of my property and Damage to my Property ...

Then ... he can use the 'parental rights' thing to arrange the willing help of one of my children (who has a mental illness, and is about to turn 18) to BURGLARIZE my HOME in August 2006 ...

AND ... he is ALLOWED by the police, AND with my Neighbors WITNESSING this (and not stopping him), to LOAD up his Vehicle with MY PROPERTY, and to LEAVE the STATE without being ARRESTED ... knowing that I already provided the POLICE with ALL The information, including where the place where he was staying was at ... and they did NOTHING to stop him from taking my property out of state, selling it, and ... guess what .. I'll NEVER see the stuff again (and I am REPAIRING the DAMAGE to my home STILL).

THAT is WHY we need STRONGER LAWS Against Spousal Abuse ...

THAT is WHY we need STRONGER LAWS against CHILDREN ABUSING their PARENT (and yes, this child did assault me BEFORE they helped the Ex Burglarize my home ... which is why I used my insurance to hospitalize them and get them treatment),

THAT is WHY we need STRONGER LAWS against Ex-es who Stalk, steal identities, BURGLARIZE, etc etc etc.

We NEED To FORCE our COURTS, Law Enforcement, etc to say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" ... and to PROSECUTE ex-es (like this) to the fullest extent -- and MAKE them PAY for what they do ... which MUST include FINANCIAL RESTITUTION to the VICTIM/SURVIVOR of their RAGES!
