In some counties of GA, domestic violence laws are completely disregared by family court judges. In my case, the judge refused to hear or consider any history of violence. That was Polk county. (Judge Cummings) I was not allowed to have a "Safety Focused Parenting Plan", which should be my right. My attorney kept quiet (I guess out of respect for the judge) and did not assert my rights. The general attitude that I've encountered in GA is that woman provoke or deserve the abusive treatment they receive. I was never praised for getting out of a violent relationship while I was pregnant, instead was chastized for breaking up a family. (I wasn't even married to the man)
