Something I Said - WomensLaw.org -- Infomration on Escaping Domestic Violence
Something I Said - WomensLaw.org
Dwight Hobbes
It's hard to believe there's a terror much worse than to be panicked and paralyzed, trapped in domestic violence, knowing you must flee, not knowing how. It's easy for someone outside the situation to say, "Just leave!" Simple an act as that is, though, it can be incredibly hard for the victim. She may not know where to go, how to stay safe and, after leaving, wind up helplessly returning, convinced there's no hope and, of course, be subject to continued abuse that likely will worsen . If you or someone you know needs an informational clearing house on escaping violent domestic abuse, consult WomensLaw.org, a website set up for that purpose -- to let victims know what they can do.
WomensLaw.org is a godsend of pointers, staring with the advisory "Your computer use may be monitored by an abuser. For your safety, please be sure you are using a safer computer." You know how tempted even sane domestic partners are to snoop. Those who realize it's hazardous to a relationship's health have a built-in prohibitor that makes them mind their own business and not go through their loved one's clothes pockets, personal dresser-drawers or computer files. Abusers, it goes without saying, couldn't give a damn what's healthy for a relationship and can't wait to rummage through areas that are none of the most intimate lover and lifemate's business. Accordingly, when you research WomensLaw.org, go do it at the library.
You'll find a laundry list of legal info a bit of which is touched on here.
One thing you need to know is how to get ready to take flight. You don't just leave. Have the presence of mind to first tend to common sense concerns like yours and your children's birth certificates, social security cards, school records, medical information and so forth. Fill a bag with changes of clothing (hide it someplace the menace of your life won't find it -- like outside the house). Money. Try and save some in advance. Otherwise (my two cents, not that of WomensLaw.org) beg, borrow or what have you, 'cause you're going to need bread. Pick a time when you know for sure the coast is clear. If your partner's at work, don't wait until quitting time to head for the door. You might even want to "innocently" call the job to make sure he or she (it happens with hetero and non-heterosexuals) is there. Then run like hell. Wouldn't hurt to call the cops, too, and let them know the minute you have left.
Domestic violence, for all that it's often seen as a malady of poor people, strikes up and down the social ladder. You may be someone in a home where you have to walk out on material investments in order to save yours and/or your children's lives. Believe your abuser is going to swear you abandoned him or her and aren't entitled to a stick of furniture. They might fight you for child custody. You're going to need an attorney. If you've got it like that for lawyer's fees now is the time to go top shelf. If you don't, find a lawyer referral service to help you locate a legal aid lawyer with the right experience. You may be able to get a decent price break. Or free counsel. Look into it.
WomensLaw.org is a soup-to-nuts resource. With categories like "Know the Law" (on restraining orders, custody), "Preparing for Court", "Where to Find Help", "Helping Others", "Legal Statutes" and more. Word of caution. WomensLaw.org spells out what a restraining order is, "...a legal order…which requires one person to stop harming another." It also gives further explanation, including how such protective orders vary from state to state, how you go get one and more. But, you need to know that yes, you're within in your rights and certainly should get legal protection against your abuser, but, no, an order does not guarantee your safety. News reports abound across the nation about maniacally obsessed batterers who defy court orders. They return to beat their victims. They return to rape their victims. They kill their victims. If your tormentor is crazy enough, an order won't be worth the paper on which it is printed. So, get a restraining order by all means. Just don't relax your guard and stop at no lengths to safeguard your well being. If necessary, obtain a license to arm yourself.
A terrible fact of violent domestic life is being ignorant of how to escape it. WomensLaw.org does a great deal about seeing to it said ignorance is dispelled.

i have two form-16 from two employers i.e one Govt orgn. & second is private org. How should i file my return.?
I have two form-16 for both employers. Can I file two retuns separately for two employers.
Wrong country. You need to ask this question in the section for taxes in India. Form 16 doesn't exist in the United States.
I hope this helps.
