Q: l left my home 4 months ago with my 2 kids do to domestic violence, can he accuse me of kidnap
i never call the cops
A:
If you left your home with your two children due to domestic violence, you have not committed kidnapping. Kidnapping is a serious crime that involves taking a person against their will, and you left your home with your children to protect yourself and your children from harm.
It is important to prioritize your safety and the safety of your children in cases of domestic violence. If you have not already done so, you should seek support from a local domestic violence shelter or organization. They can provide you with information about your legal rights, safety planning, and resources for getting help.
If you are concerned that your partner may accuse you of kidnapping, you may want to consider seeking legal advice from an attorney or a legal aid organization. They can provide you with information about your legal rights and options, and help you to understand any potential legal consequences of leaving your home with your children.
It is important to remember that leaving an abusive relationship is a difficult and courageous decision, and you have the right to protect yourself and your children from harm.
