Rather, ROs don't even apply until the couple are separated. As such, all VA and EA is eliminated upon separation unless improper contact is resumed. If one party subsequently harasses or threatens the other, perhaps an RO is appropriate.

That's just my point! Harassment containing all of the above ways to emotionally abuse is still harassment! Just when is it OK to text to someone 4 times in one hour that because the soccer schedule isn't working out that "You're an unfit F*ed up mother. I'm getting full custody you F*ing biotch! You're so F8cked up because your parents beat you repeatedly with belts!"
All of which is completely false! I endured texting like that for weeks - on top of threatening phone calls (once up to 12 in one 3 hour stretch) - and my lawyer AND the cops said that he didn't REALLY threaten me!
I'm sorry, but if I'M (and I emphasize the ME because I'm a very strong woman) trembling and having nightmares after that, I think it's pretty valid that I felt threatened like I never before.
yet, I'm not crying for an RO because in my 50-50 state it's only a piece of paper that means nothing. I had to protect myself from this crap another way and that was through publicly outing his behavior.
It worked, tho. He stopped. now he's financially abusing me. And when i get that to stop, I'm sure he'll find another way to abuse me and I'm sure, thanks to attitudes like your own, I'll get no legal help.
To the woman who volunteers in shelters - are you guys doing anything special for October being Domestic Abuse Awareness month ? I'm pretty sure NDV hotline has something on the schedule and I know there's a motorcycle ride to raise awareness. I'm looking at heading something in my small town to raise awareness on my own (til I'm blue in the face, ya know!?) Any ideas?
