Except in unusual situations, the court will
grant you custody of your minor children. In some states the court can also
order the abuser to pay child support and support for you. The abuser may also
be granted visitation with the child/children under certain conditions. If the
children are in danger of abuse, you should let the judge know why you think
so.
In some states the
court may also order the abuser to pay for costs that resulted from the abuse,
for example; household bills that are due right away, medical/dental treatment,
moving expenses, loss of earnings. The judge can also make the abuser pay your
attorney's fees, and can make the abuser pay damages to you or other people
that helped you or got hurt by the abuser.
