Domestic violence

[Pixikitten0123]

I was assaulted by my ex husband at the weekend as he dropped the kids back. The police are investigating. I’ve since also found out through disclosure from the kids that he put the little one at risk from harm. What happens next? I’m in such a mess...

Is there an order about his contact?

No contact order. It’s started as emotional abuse then financial and then escalated to physical

Do you think there's a risk of a repeat?

If the police want to press charges, please support them. What kind of harm do you mean?

You need to consider whether you need protective orders to keep him away, you need to consider whether you think contact is safe, if not, you should with old it and consider how contact can happen safely.

Thank you. I’m just waiting for the local DV association to contact me as I can’t afford the prohibited steps order. The police still need to come and take my statement. The kids are scared.
