Hello, I have left my ex partner recently because of abuse and dv. I have leaved with him about few years. At the begging he was so charming...I guess like all of them...when I got pregnant, it started...I was thinking, we just arguing, people said because I have big expectation and I've stayed. I felt like I've stuck, I could not see a way out. I have realised that I cannot do anything, that this is not normal, that he is just like that and he will not change....I'm in safe place now. I will be a witness in his trial. I will need to give a statement and I'm not really sure what exactly I should state. I know that I should explain a last incident that he hurt me but should I describe how looked like my all relationship, should I mention my worries? He is currently on bail condition to court, so he cannot brake that bail. I feel safe now, but what about future? how long that bail will last? I have tried to get legal aid, but they calculated that I will have to pay more than £1000, I do not have a job a the mom and I have some money to help me&my family to survive before I will go back to work. I cannot afford to pay that. Basically I would like to know how looks like trial in the court, what should I state in statement and what about injunction? When should I apply for it and how? I would appreciate any help, advice and you can share your stories as well, that would help a lot. I hope to hear from you.
