Protective Measures
Your safety is of the utmost concern. Implementing the following information will help you stay protected and organized when building a case against your abuser.
- Obtain an Order of Protection: This legal document provides immediate protection by restricting the abuser's actions. It can include provisions for no contact, staying away from your residence or workplace, surrendering firearms, and attending domestic violence offender treatment programs.
- Develop a Safety Plan: Identify safe places to go, keep important documents and emergency phone numbers accessible, and inform trusted friends and family about your situation. This plan should also include steps to enhance your home security, such as changing locks and securing windows and doors.
- Document Incidents of Abuse: Keep a record of incidents, including dates, times, and descriptions, as these can be used as evidence in legal proceedings.
- Secure Your Online Presence: Change passwords regularly, use two-factor authentication, and be cautious about sharing personal information online to prevent the abuser from tracking or harassing you.
- Financial Independence: Aim for financial independence by opening a separate bank account, saving money, and securing employment or job training.
Understandably, every scenario is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. We're here to help you develop a personalized safety plan that fits your specific circumstances.
