A: It might be to file a petition for protection against domestic violence with the clerk of the circuit court. Do not ramble on in the petition, just write about the physical abuse. "He hit me with his left fist to the right side of my face" sort of thing, not rambling on about irrelevant matters or your feelings. I see these things all the time, and basically the more they write, the easier it is to defeat them. Just state facts which amount to physical abuse, when, where, how, what. I hope this helps.
