Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

The first step is to go to any women's shelter. Speak with any of them and ask how many went back to their boyfriend or husband after the man abused them. All of them. Ask them what it means to let the abuser know that he can do anything he wants and they will keep coming back. It means the abuse will only get worse because you will allow it. Of course, you can have that conversation with the women who were killed.

If you want to ruin your life, or end your life, stay with him.

Please see a mental health counselor as to why you would want to do something as foolish and dangerous as what you asked. Everfy day, women are killed and battered when they go back to abusers, and very few abusers stop. Going back to an abuser encourages abuse. It is the one thing you should NEVER do. As Scott noted, go to a shelter and they will hook you up to some counseling, support groups and other resources so you can actually turn your life around.

(A note: many courts will assume he coerced you into what you asked, so he could go to jail because of your question).

Good luck.

Hire an attorney. The state cannot put a valid stay-away order on the two of you, but it can put a stay-away order on your boyfriend as a condition of his bond. If you want to have contact, hire an attorney and have him file the appropriate motions. The other answers assume you do not know what you are doing. I do not treat women like children or pets. You are grown, and you have the right to make all sorts of decisions that may not be good for you. Feel free to contact me at: www.lawrencelewispc.com I will get you back together.

Since Mr. Lewis decided to imply that you are being treated like a pet or children in the other responses, I'll note that my response (I won't speak for Mr. Ashman) was directed to you as another human being and out of concern for your welfare. I spend some of my personal time volunteering for organizations that help young people in Atlanta. I was not treating you as my next paycheck. I am much more concerned about your well-being as a person than getting you in my door for a fee (and attempting to insult other lawyers in the process). You need to surround yourself with people who care about you personally, and are concerned with your personal welfare.
