My ex-husband has been violent before. How do I manage the children's visits safely?

Your safety and your child's come before any visitation arrangement, and you are entitled to protection and safe arrangements. If you or your child are in danger right now, call the police on 999 immediately. For advice and support, call Talian Kasih 15999. Do not feel you must face a violent ex-spouse alone. The Syariah Court can set supervised visits or conditions that protect the child's safety, and you can apply for them. Choose an open place for handovers and bring someone with you if needed. Keep a record of any threats. Safety is not hard-heartedness; it is a responsibility. See domestic violence.
