Background
Family courts should not be used as a tracking device by abusers. Give victims who have fled domestic abuse the right to not have the court nearest to them automatically used and being used for the abuser to gain knowledge on the where about’s of the victim. Leading to the victim to once again live in fear on a daily basis or have to move again and constantly anticipate court being used as a way to continuously be found.
