Am I protected from domestic violence during divorce?

In a word, yes. Every person has the right to physical safety, even when you’re going through divorce. In fact, many people seek divorce because they are experiencing domestic violence from a spouse or partner. In many cases, you can get a restraining order against the abusive person during the divorce process, which can protect you and any children you have from having contact from that person. These are enforceable by legal action.
