1. Go to a domestic violence shelter...they can steer you in the right direction. Good luck to you!!! I mean it!!!
2. a domestic violence shelter can help you hide and fast call them or go to police
3. Go to a shelter, they normally let you stay with them until you find a new home. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get a new identity.. But you can go to the police and ask them to put a restraining order on him, if he just got out of prision he won't want to go back in soon. Hope everything goes well. Good luck.
4. domestic voilance shelter will help you that is the best place to go
5. I'm with Valerie on this one. You could try a nearby clinic for help, or your doctors office should have resources. Anytime children could be in danger the police will get involved and you can ask for social worker from them. You are in my thoughts!
6. You do not need a new identity, all you need is a restraining order against your ex. If he approaches you in any way, shape or form, he will be in violation of a court order and he will be back behind bars before he can say "Huh?"
7. You cant do that, you cant get a new identity you are who you are. file a permanent restraining order against him.. Anything else you do will get you in trouble and put in jail too, then who will care for your children. Call the non emergancy police number in your area and ask them how you go about this, keep a record on any calls he makes to you, or a drive by (stalking) and call 911 every time, so they have a record and he may end up in jail for a very long time.
8. have to agree with everyone else on this one. a shelter seems the best option. they can help you with a new home and legal advice. best of luck to you, hope it all works out.
9. You have to go through the court system to change your names......after that then you have to follow through with the new ssn number. But a shelter should be able to help you
10. I think your best bet would be to go to the police explane your situation and see if they can't do anything for you. the next best thing would be to go to shelter and stay there for awhile till things sort of blow over.
11. Did he physically abuse you? If so and if you have a police report or court records that prove or corroborate this, you can get a new Social Security number. You just have to bring that in to your local SS office and request a new SSN. They don't make that decision on the spot, it has to go to their headquarters for a decision. That can take weeks. However, it can be done. I think you're under some misconceptions about getting a new indentity and have watched too many movies. It's not a matter of going to a store and paying $5 for a new identity. It doesn't work that way. What I would recommend is applying for a new SSN. Moving and telling NO ONE where you've moved to. Have a cell phone with an unlisted number. Use a Post Office box as your mailing address but don't give that out unless you have to. Do not use a credit card unless you have to. They can be tracked. Try to use cash at all times. Get a restraining order from the courts if you fear for your safety. In a restraining order, he doesn't get to know where you are, he's just told to stay the hell away from you or he can go back to jail. That's no guarantee he won't find you or will stay away. However, you have legal grounds to send him back to prison if you see him near you. You might consider purchasing a small calibre pistol and taking classes on how to safely use it, maintain it and clean it and what the laws are in using one. It's not that expensive and might be well worth it. Good luck!
