I would suggest ringing your local lawyers (perferably Legal Aid) because you are entitled to one piece of free information. They can lead you in the right direction.

If you are in a Domestic Violence situation I would suggest applying for an emergency protection order from your local court or police station.

So long as you can prove that Domestic Violence exists in any of the following: (domestic violence can be defined as threats both physical and verbal threat to commit physical, intimidation, constant put downs, harrassment, social isolation, threats to damage property, damage to property, indecent behaviour such as unwanted sexual advances, stalking, persistant phone calls, financial abuse or psychological/emotional abuse.

I'm a survivor of domestic violence and my heart goes out to you. Hope this helps a little.

my best wishes are with you
