Emily;

I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

Please, get a restraining order against him, as well.
Depending on the laws in your county, it could be from
100 feet or 1000 feet he has to stay away from you.
Can anyone stay with you for a couple of days?

Remember, you filed b/c you were afraid and in fear of
your life, as well as the kids. Very important termin-
ology for the courts.

We are here for you...
