When a woman first comes to an attorney's office seeking advice concerning a divorce, the woman can be very apprehensive due to prior physical abuse during the marriage. Write a memo to me as your senior partner answering the following questions based on your state's laws and based on the local services offered to women of domestic violence:

What is the name of your local women's shelter and what services do they provide? Do they provide residential services for women and if so for how long?

What state statute authorizes a spouse to obtain an order of protection against the other spouse? Cite the statutory language and provide me a step by step outline of the procedures we need to take to obtain such an order.

Identify your state's (KY) partner/family member assault criminal statute and cite it. Does your state statute include language which states that the preferred response by police is arrest? If that happens, can we appear at the bail hearing on the criminal charge on behalf of the battered spouse to argue for a higher bail amount and/or a condition of bail of no contact with our client?
