Re: husband won't leave hcw2815: my husband has a temper that won't quit. and without going into detail he has been a bit violent with our son in the past. he should leave because he will say negatibe things and yell and curse at me in front of our son because he is angry. he should leave because when i first met this man he was very calm and non-viokent and within recent years his actions have shown me that i may never know what exactly to expect. he should leave because he has harrassed me before in the past and i had to get a restraining order ( we weren't living together at the time). he should leave because i and my son deserve some peace!

How would I feel? Probably bad, but your question is loaded, and here is why:
If you were to ask me how I would feel if my mother went to the store to get some milk, and crashed her car and was seriously hurt- of course I would feel bad. However, there is always a chance a trip to the store will result in a serious accident. If anything, there is a greater potential for a serious accident if this women goes to the store than if she DOESN'T get a RO.

Re: husband won't leave darkrose: I'm not going to get drawn into this issue, however the State of Florida has this to say:
[quote"> If a person is the victim of any acts of domestic violence, or has reason to believe he or she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of domestic violence (by a spouse, former spouse, person related by blood or marriage, person who is presently residing together as if a family or who has resided in the past as if a family member, or a person who has a child in common regardless of whether they have been married or have resided together at any time), that person meets the requirements for filing a restraining order for domestic violence. There is no filing fee for this request.[/quote">
(emphasis added by me)
I imagine the requirements are the same elsewhere...
For those who cannot grasp the logic in this simple passage, I'll 'dumb it down':
If someone FEELS threatened by someone else, a RO can be granted. No actual violence needs to have taken place.

You need to justify your fears to no one, except a family court judge. And I already know what he is going to tell you.
Re: husband won't leave crushedman: I don't think this siuation calls for a RO. Based on the info provided, I don't think he is a danger.
