Domestic Violence <D.V>?

boobah,\n\nThe only way you would be held responsible for ANYTHING is if you were charged with a crime.  No warrants for your arrest, and you were not named as an accomplice, correct?\n\nI think that woman's full of *hit.  \n\nOn the same note, I don't think I would let "him" back in the house...

Record an incident on video. Not sure what the laws are in your area but verbal abuse qualifies as assault here. Have the pissant thrown in jail.

Domestic Homicides\n\nOn average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day. In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner. The same year, 440 men were killed by an intimate partner. \nWomen are much more likely than men to be killed by an intimate partner. In 2000, intimate partner homicides accounted for 33.5 percent of the murders of women and less than four percent of the murders of men.\nPregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause , and evidence exists that a significant proportion of all female homicide victims are killed by their intimate partners. \nResearch suggests that injury related deaths, including homicide and suicide, account for approximately one-third of all maternal mortality cases, while medical reasons make up the rest. But, homicide is the leading cause of death overall for pregnant women, followed by cancer, acute and chronic respiratory conditions, motor vehicle collisions and drug overdose, peripartum and postpartum cardiomyopthy, and suicide.\n\nEstimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend per year1 to three million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year

I am sure there is, ask a lawyer or some women organisations - try ...google... give key words like: women violence at home organisations. If not in your city, call the ones in internet and ask them for local organisations. Normally they have a hot line.\n\nUnfortunately I live outside USA and can't help you concrete

You need to leave, taking your son with you. If your s.o.'s prior domestic violence was severe enough to land him in jail, you and your son are in danger! But I think you know that. You need to go to your version of the Family Court and apply for an ex parte Protection from Abuse order to start with. If it is approved, this could give you temporary custody of your son and even possibly give you possession of your place of residence (depending on a lot of situations, of course.)\n\nOnce you have done this, get in touch with your version of the Legal Aid Society. They should be able to advise you about the legality of the recordings you have and help you at no charge. Also, check out the Domestic Violence Center. If you have nobody you can live with until this comes to a full hearing, they may be able to find you a safe shelter.\n\nOnce you go to a final hearing, if you get a FULL Protection from Abuse order, you can try for custody. You MUST try to do this, despite the threats. If you don't, you KNOW there will be more trouble and possible violence. If you DO this, you will at least have SOME chance that things will get better and you will have what you want and need.\n\nPlease -- take care -- but get help soon!

Abuse is not about physical violence.  Control is the factor. There are many diffrent kinds of domestic abuse: physical (hitting, pushing, kicking,throwing things). Emotional abuse (having to know where you are at all times, ignoring you, killing or harming pets, keeping you away from friends and family, this is one of the areas that the porn falls into, etc.) Verbal abuse (calling you names, makings snide comments to you or to others about you, etc.) Financial (won't let you have a job, never lets you have any money, keeps you in the dark about finances, etc.) Sexual (rape, it does happen in marriage, forcing you or convincing you to have sex when you don't want to, forcing sex when you are asleep or drunk, making you look at porn, etc.) Heck, abuse can also be spiritual (he makes you go to church or makes you belong to a church that you don't want to, he won't let you pray, tells you "you are going to hell, if...".\nPlease look at your life. Are you happy? As Dr. Phil says, "I'd rather live on the street in a carboard box and be happy than spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me miserable".\nThe decision to stay with an abusive partner is your decision to make, but keep in mind that your child is seeing this behavior and he is going to think that it is allright, and be the same way when he grows up.\nYou cannot make your husband change.  The only person you can change is you and as I said before the decision is yours. \nIf you need help finding resources in your area e-mail me. c_in_the_hills@yahoo.com.\nYou are under his thumb, and the weight is probably going to crush you some day.

Violating a restraining order is a crime either way. If there is violence involved then you broke two laws. Viol. restraining order AND assaut and battery.

I have been there. My ex-wife accused me of abuse..the part she didn't tell was she had a boy friend and she wanted lot's of $$$$.\nThank God she didn't win..it was thrown out of court..I wish I had it on video tape. She became confused in her story. I could have got some very serious time in jail. I could have sued the hell out of her..but I let it go

Yes it is justified, yet i would suggest that if you are the object of repeated domestic violence that you leave the relationship and seek mental health counseling to determine why you have allowed it to continue. I would also suggest that you learn how to spell or learn to use spell check on your computer.

Yes. Domestic violence and dealing with the public do not go hand in hand as far as medical employers are concerned and it will get you a fast track right outside the door.

In Ohio legislature just changed so that domestic violence became a much more limited offense.  Before if you assaulted anyone you live with or have lived with in the past five years it was a domestic.  Now you have to be married or have a child together for it to be domestic.  Domestic violence is treated as a VERY serious offense, even in our little town where the court will not convict anyone of anything.  The problem with domestic charges is that after a couple of days the complaintant always comes back and wants the charges dropped.  The victim refuses to follow through.  If there is no victim anymore then it is hard to have a crime so it is hard to get the conviction.

Here are some websites that should help you.  The issue is a very complex one, and a serious problem in our society.  Battered women often believe that the violence is their fault.  \n\nThere are many perspectives on the issue.  Battered wife syndrome has been effectively used as a defence in murder cases leading to reduced sentences.\n\nYOu really need to do some reading to get the whole picture.  I have attached several websites that should help you.

You definitely need to contact somebody... Try starting with your local DVACK shelter... DVACK is for domestic violence... Tell them that you are scared for yourself and your child and get a protection from abuse order, he won't beable to come near you or the baby, and you can get your court proceedings started from there. you definitely need to talk to your local SRS office and tell them you want to start the custody to make sure you have residential custody, because if you don't, he has every right to that child just like you do.  He will beable to take her and there is nothing you can do to get that child back until you go through court and ask for visitation. That can take months to do, if he gets the child before you start the proceedings,and no child should go months let alone days without seeing their mother. If you hurry and do that, if he does take the baby, they could then issue an Amber Alert and put his butt in jail! Good luck, but act FAST, seriously!!!!!!!

I don't know for sure, but I am sure that every community (unfortunately there's a need) has a telephone # under Domestic Violence~under the services part of phone book. Or you could call your local D.A.

I would listen to the D.A in this case. Unless there is absolutley NO proof or enough evidence, I'd say the DA knows what they are talking about. Bless your heart and I hope everything works out for you.
