My marriage, now three years old, has been marred by abuse. My husband’s ill-treatment forced me to seek refuge with my parents six months ago. We tried to reconcile, involving family elders, but were misled. Instead of scheduling a meeting, he sent a lawyer’s notice with false accusations, demanding my return within ten days. We countered with a request for his assurance, in front of our families, that he’d never abuse me again. However, he filed for divorce. This unexpected move feels unjust, given that our differences have been resolvable. I want to save my marriage but also ensure my safety. What can I do now to regain my peace and protect myself? I’ve filed a RCR petition in my state.

You should continue to pursue your RCR petition, seeking court-ordered protection against abuse. Additionally, file a complaint with the police against your husband for domestic violence and seek a restraining order to ensure your safety. An experienced family lawyer can help you navigate this challenging situation and protect your rights.
