It really depends. I live in Missouri. I finally found the courage to stand up for myself against my soon to be ex-husband a few months ago. Charges were brought against him within an hour and he was arrested and charged within a few hours. He went to court for arraignment within 48 hours. Missouri doesn't stand for domestic violence. It is a little harder when it is your husband/wife, but it's not hard. In Missouri, the state takes over as the petitioner, which makes it easier for abused women to have their abusers convicted.

Some have done it. However, success requires that the abusive one live away from home, take months of counseling and behavior modification, and an agreement between the two people that it is important for the abuse to stop. If the abuser doesn't get it, or the abuse has gone on too long, it is better in the long run for both people to stay separate and go their own ways.
