There would have to be more of an explanation to this and it sounds complicated such as: Did she run away from him, taking the children? Did they split-up and she moved because he wouldn't leave her alone? How did he find her? Was she in any contact with him when she left? Did they go through lawyers and the court system? In order to get rid of her abusive husband she is going to have to come up with some proof. If he's phoning her with abusive calls ... tape the calls! If he is phoning her at work, tape those calls as well. If the police were ever called to their home for domestic abuse then get her to see a lawyer so he can get these records from the police department. She needs legal council immediately, to get custody of the children and for her own safety. She then needs to take this proof to a lawyer and go through the legal system to get rid of this guy. However, sounds like he's going to make a fight of it so be prepared. For now, she can go to a Women's Abuse Center for help and they too will provide legal council. They will be listed in your phone book and if you have a tough time finding it go to THE STATE YOUR SISTER IS IN and have her see Mental Health and they will put her in the right direction. Good luck Marcy
