Comments on: How to Understand Your Legal Rights as a Battered Woman

on 9/6/2008 I agree with Smirfnscooby the police dont care. And if there is no physical abuse involved or immediate threat, then forget about it. You're just screwed! You have to file some papers in court and serve them with a 30 day eviction notice. And can u even imagine what hell that will bring you having to live with him for 30 more days and him knowing he's going out on the street. Forget ever having anything that works in your home again. Sabotage and destruction galore!!

on 4/7/2008 police aren't sensitive to the issue and don't believe you... my mom's bf (second time mind you) has thrown me and had police here, and they won't make him leave because they're "no physical marks" and her bf said I hit him, when all I did was open a door to tell him to leave my mom alone.. SO MUCH FOR POLICE... oh and apparently we can't "make" him leave because he receives mail here, so even though my mom's on the lease only, we can't do anything.. ?? isn't that bull??? !!!!...

on 9/15/2006 Stay strong and don't let him manipulate you into blaming yourself. Men will often try and turn the blame in order to resume control.
