Separation?

I have decided to separate but I am afraid to tell my partner. How can I protect myself?

The moment of separation is particularly difficult in the context of intimate partner violence. You should prepare the announcement and the separation with the support of people in your network and/or the professional of our association. Take measures to protect your safety like for example having a place where you can go if the violence worsens.

My husband refuses to separate and is threatening me. Can I throw him out of the house?

When your partner threatens you or a violent episode breaks out, you can call the police, who can decide depending on the seriousness of the situation to remove him from the premises for several days. In case of separation, the house is accorded to one of the partners only. The person who has no right to occupy that accommodation can be expelled from it. Our association can provide information and help you take steps to separate from your husband.
