They seek family court orders to keep their children safe from violent fathers, and take special visa pathways to avoid deportation following their separation from an abuser. Women are often driven to interact with the law to counteract their abuser's myriad legal applications against them. While separation may seem like a solution, often the abuse just gets worse.Countless women who have experienced intimate partner violence are enmeshed in overlapping, complex, and often inconsistent legal processes.
