Domestic violence can include many different behaviors that abusers use to control their partners, and some might be harder to recognize than others. 🚩

who has been impacted by abuse, whether we know it or not. Domestic Violence Awareness Month ( ) is a great time to learn more about different warning signs, especially if you're concerned about your own relationship or someone you care about.

And remember: it's NEVER your fault if you've been abused, whether you saw the red flags or not. Nobody ever has the right to hurt you or make you feel powerless in your relationship.

[Image description: Against a purple background, text reads: "Domestic violence isn't always physical. Does your partner ever... Pressure you to move faster in the relationship than you're comfortable with? Insist that you stop spending time with friends and family or that you quit hobbies, school, or your job? Want to know where you are all of the time, or excessively call, email, or text you? Criticize you or put you down, or tell you that nobody else would ever want you? Blame you (or other people) for their behavior, refusing to take responsibility? Control your shared finances or run up credit card debt in your name?"

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

We have seen a noticeable increase in people coming to us with concerns about domestic violence, coercive control, threats, safety and financial abuse.

Abuse does not always look the way people expect it to. It may be physical, but it can also involve intimidation, isolation, control, threats, monitoring or restricting access to money.
Financial abuse, in particular, is something we see often in family law.

At the same time, many of the local organizations supporting survivors are stretched thin. That can make an already difficult situation even harder for someone trying to figure out what to do next.

Throughout October, we will be sharing more information about domestic violence and the legal and community resources available in Nebraska, including financial abuse, protection orders, mandatory reporting and local support services.

For Omaha, the Women's Center for Advancement has a 24-hour hotline at 402-345-7273 and provides free, confidential services for people experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and human trafficking.

For Lincoln, Friendship Home of Lincoln provides domestic violence crisis services, emergency shelter and longer-term housing support. Its 24-hour crisis line is 402-437-9302.

For Council Bluffs and southwest Iowa, Catholic Charities, Des Moines Diocese's Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Program provides free, confidential services, including emergency shelter, advocacy and support. Its 24-hour crisis line is 712-328-0266 or 888-612-0266.

The Nebraska Coalition To End Sexual And Domestic Violence can also connect people with services throughout the state.

We will include additional resource information in the first comment below.

Leaving, making a safety plan or simply beginning to understand the options can take time. There are people ready to help, and there are legal options available.

If domestic violence is affecting a divorce, custody matter or family situation, our attorneys can help explain what options may be available and what steps may help protect the people involved.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
