When deciding to leave a violent household, have a plan. Domestic violence hotlines or shelters can help you find a safe place to go and assist in legal matters.

If you decide to file a protective order and you or your family are still living in the same house as your abuser, you and your family should be prepared to leave your home for a safe place to stay. Even though a protective order is issued to keep an abuser away from you and your family, it is not necessarily an order for the abuser to vacate the family. Your abuser may refuse to leave your home, which means you and your family will need a safe place to go.

There are legal professionals available to help you understand what your rights and legal options are should you decide to leave your home, obtain a protective order, file divorce papers, or file custody orders if you have children.

Legal service providers: Legal service providers are trained professionals who are experts in family law. They are knowledgeable about laws, protections, and options you have, and the resources available to you, such as emergency shelters. They can also help you create a safety plan tailored to your situation. They are connected to your local civil or criminal justice system and can help you understand the system and how it works.
