My best advice is for her NEVER to go to that house again and get out of town, going someplace where he would never find her. Assign someone power of attorney or whatever they need to sell the house on her behalf (or is it community property)..

A HOUSE is not worth her life or the life of her child.. If she can escape with her life and the life of her child, she should consider herself lucky and count her blessings.

But tell her to stay AWAY from that house or he will catch her there one night and the outcome could be horriable...

AND everything Sopets said! DOCUMENT! DOCUMENT! DOCUMENT!

(Is there anyone that could loan her enough money to get out of town/state and get a new start?)
