A:
I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been through. You have the right to seek justice and address the financial aspect of your situation. In San Lorenzo, you can file a small claims case to recover the $4,000 your ex owes you. This process is designed to be accessible without needing a lawyer, and you can present your evidence in court to support your claim.
Additionally, considering the domestic violence you've experienced, you may be eligible for a restraining order to ensure your safety moving forward. This order can provide legal protection and may also address any financial obligations your ex has towards you. It's important to gather any documentation or evidence related to both the financial debt and the incidents of domestic violence to strengthen your case.
Reaching out to local resources, such as legal aid organizations or support groups, can provide you with guidance and assistance throughout this process. They can help you understand the steps involved and ensure that your rights are protected. Taking these actions can help you move towards a safer and more secure future.
