A: You may consider filing for a restraining order and contacting the police to report the crimes. You may also consider suing for tortious assault/ battery. You may want to file for custody and child support. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself.
