If you are experiencing Domestic Violence, here are some things to consider:

1. Ensure Your Safety: Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance. If you are in immediate danger, call emergency services or your local helpline. Create a safety plan that includes identifying safe places to go, keeping important documents and emergency phone numbers handy, and informing trusted friends or family members about your situation.
2. Reach Out for Support: You are not alone. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or a domestic violence hotline for support. Share your experience with someone who can provide emotional support and guidance. They can help you explore available resources and options.
3. Seek Professional Help: Consult with a compassionate and experienced domestic violence attorney who specializes in family law. They can help you understand your legal rights, such as obtaining a protective order or filing for divorce or child custody. An attorney can guide you through the legal process and advocate for your safety and best interests.
4. Document Incidents: Keep a record of incidents of abuse, including dates, times, locations, and descriptions of what occurred. Document any visible injuries or damages. This documentation can serve as evidence should you choose to pursue legal action or seek a protective order.
5. Develop a Safety Plan: Create a safety plan that outlines steps you can take to protect yourself and your children. This plan may include identifying safe places to go, securing important documents, establishing a support network, and preparing an emergency bag with essential items. A domestic violence hotline or advocate can help you develop a personalized safety plan.
