We revised Can I get an order of protection? in our New York Orders of Protection page to more clearly explain the relationships that could qualify someone for an order. Spanish coming soon.
We revised the question “Is there anything I can do if my abusive partner continually files court proceedings against me?” in English in our Relief from Abuse Orders, Custody, and Divorce sections. We also added two related statutes to our Selected Connecticut Statutes page.
We added the new topic Abuse in Communities with Disabilities with eight new questions to our Abuse in Specific Communities page. Spanish coming soon!
