[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A woman that is close to me used to go outside when her husband started up with her. He was very concerned about appearances and if he followed her out, he would not scream and threaten like he did inside the house. You could have her try that, so that either he calms down, or if he persists, you can record it and call the police. You can also (if safe) ring their bell or call them when you hear yelling, to let him know people are watching. Another thing you can do is offer to watch their kids, for example if she has to go to court or to the police station.[/quote]

That works til he sees what she’s doing and blocks the door/prevents her from leaving.[/quote]

+1. Other abusive husbands are keen to go to outside places and gaslight in public . Someone close to me has a husband that will rage in the garage, yard, etc . To make it seem she is the problem. This in spite of him having a long court record . So be careful with that tactic, OP!

Fairfax police are not reliable in civil matters, and you need to use them sparingly, if at all. Their tendency is to do what is best for them at the time only- they tend to not care about facts.

Second year law school I was a victim witness advocate in Fairfax family court(juv/domestic). It was free to victims of dv. It is worth calling family court to see if they still have these.

I would also say your neighbor needs a lawyer, asap. Abusers play DIRTY. [/quote]
