It depends the kind of spousal abuse. Every county got it own laws on spousal abuse.

In Germany and most every outer European country, physical abuse of a spouse is forbidden by law.

Normally, the abuser gets an restraining order from a judge, this means that he can not near you more the (example: 50 or 100 feet). Every restraining order is different and it is specific to a case.

Secondly, if this is not working, a judge my decide to give him some jail time.
