Recently released abusive phone messages from Mel Gibson to his girlfriend have captured the nation’s attention, and now domestic violence experts and psychologists are working to get the word out and remind people that ninety percent of verbal abuse escalates into physical abuse. Verbal abuse often goes ignored and unreported, but it is important to trust and follow your instincts if you feel threatened. ”If they’re not respecting you, the best bet is to get out of the relationship,” stated Cesar Campa, spokesman for The Center Against Family Violence in El Paso, Texas.
Furthermore, he says, “You don’t have to wait until you’ve already been hit, or you’ve already been beaten and you’re already on your way to the hospital. If you are in eminent danger, if you feel that they have been threatening you, they’re harassing you and you feel like, ‘Yes, something is definitely going to happen,’ you can get help”.

A recent study has shown that individuals in blue-collar industries have been hit especially hard by the recession, and divorce rates among this demographic have risen significantly in recent months. Job losses have hit men the hardest, accounting for nearly 75% of the total unemployment claims.
Where nearly 5% of college-educated men reported layoffs and job-loss, the number was significantly higher for non-college educated men at 11.1 %. Along with the loss of employment, reported cases of depression and divorce have increased greatly.
Experts are concerned that divorce rates will again spike when the recession ends, and many believe that most cases will be found among the working-class, further widening the divide between college-educated and blue-collar Americans.
If you are considering divorce and would like to know your legal options, contact an Orlando divorce attorney of the Schlegel Law Group at 866-433-6527 today.
