How to Get out of Domestic Violence: Have a Plan

Unfortunately, domestic violence happens. It happens far too often.

We’ve helped hundreds of people, both women and men, get out from under violent, abusive marriages.

Getting out is usually the hardest part. It’s dangerous. It’s scary. It’s disorienting.

What I’ve found that really helps our clients is having a plan.

You think through every part of leaving. How you’ll leave. When you’ll leave. How you’ll take the kids. What items you’ll take with you. How much money you’ll have on you when you leave. Which car you’ll take. Where you’ll go after you leave. Who will you tell about leaving. Whether you’ll have the cops, or a trusted friend, with you to keep you safe. Where your spouse will be when you leave.

Plan everything, then pick a date and stick to the plan.

A plan help give you a sense of control, which you’ll need in order to feel confident so you can get out. A Plan will also help you recruit people to help you, and you’ll need people to help.

So, please, make a plan and get away from your abuser. You can do this.

Brown Family Law have been wonderful to work with. Their professionalism, knowledge and empathy were instrumental in the successful resolution of a very difficult situation. If we ever had need of an attorney with their skill set we would not hesitate to call on them again.

Absolutely stand out humans leading me through one of the most stressful and disorienting events of my life. I got what I needed and with my soul intact. Great insights, compassion and I feel having the support and capabilities of Nick to be instrumental to my coming out the other side with optimism! Cheers, Brown Family Law!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the way Nathaniel and the team at Brown Family Law handled my divorce case. Their level of professionalism and honesty is truly exceptional—qualities that used to be standard but, unfortunately, feel increasingly rare today. From start to finish, they were supportive, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate an incredibly difficult time. I felt heard, respected, and well-represented every step of the way. I highly recommend Brown Family Law to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled legal team.

Sincerely

William Tovar,

I cannot recommend Attorney Fredian's work enough, she has been compassionate every step of the way, responsive, shown true care for her clients and an example of what a lawyer should be. An advocate who cares.
