Parties that May Be Considered Intimate Partners

Abuse may take on many different forms. The majority of abusive relationships involve physical or emotional abuse, but in some cases they may also involve financial abuse or even cyber-stalking. Statistics report that one in four women will be in an abusive relationship with an intimate partner in her lifetime. Intimate partners may include any of the following:

• Husbands or wives
• Committed partners
• Boyfriends or girlfriends
• Partners who live together but aren’t married

If you are in an abusive relationship with an intimate partner, the consequences may affect all areas of your life, so it is highly advisable to consult with an attorney about possible legal recourse.
