Her husband had been controlling and verbally abusive\u00a0for most of their marriage. When Jackie decided to end the relationship and asked her husband for a divorce, he violently attacked her in the presence of their little boy. Fortunately, Jackie was able to get to a phone and call the police. The police officers arrested her husband, and the criminal court issued Orders of Protection for both Jackie and their son, and her husband was ordered to stay away from her. However, her husband violated the Order of Protection and Jackie filed a police report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2605 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Staff-at-The-Family-Court-Program-Provide-Support-and-Legal-Advice.png\" alt=\"Jackie's Domestic Violence Story: Staff at the Family Court Program Provided Her with Support and Legal Advice\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safehorizon.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Staff-at-The-Family-Court-Program-Provide-Support-and-Legal-Advice.png 600w, https:\/\/safehorizon.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Staff-at-The-Family-Court-Program-Provide-Support-and-Legal-Advice-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Caring staff, such as Senior Case Manager Elba Mendoza pictured above, have provided emotional support and legal guidance for countless survivors<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/our-services\/legal-and-court-help\/family-court-programs\/\">Family Court Programs<\/a> maintain close relationships with legal and law enforcement officials to gain justice for survivors of violence and help keep them safe.
