Domestic Violence Help Guide

Problem

Domestic violence help is often blocked by fragmented information and urgent timing. A survivor may need to decide quickly how to preserve injury evidence, contact a shelter, file for a personal safety protection order, and understand how evidence affects divorce proceedings. Poorly framed advice can also increase risks of monitoring, retaliation, or lost access to support.

How It Works

The skill starts with safety assessment and organizes guidance around:
- Evidence collection: taking dated injury photos, medical examination records, police reports, and women's federation assistance records.
- Support channels: hotline 12338, legal aid 12348, shelters, and emergency exit routes.
- Protective orders: applying to the court at the survivor's residence, abuser's residence, or incident location, with emergency review windows and common orders such as no-contact or no-harassment terms.
- Divorce support: how domestic violence evidence may relate to fault-based divorce, custody, damages, and property division.
- Safety planning: preparing an emergency go-bag, backing up evidence, building trusted contacts, and clearing browsing traces.

Boundaries

It provides help-seeking guidance, not legal representation, psychological care, or professional social work. In immediate danger, call 110 first; if monitoring is suspected, use a safe device and avoid leaving traceable records.
