Lesson Overview
1.74 – Legal Protection and Custody: Legal protection and custody laws can help survivors regain safety and control after pregnancy caused by assault. Courts can limit or remove an attacker’s parental rights based on evidence. Survivors can ask for sole custody or full decision-making power over the child. Judges can also order the other party to stay away permanently. Filing for protection can also secure child support while keeping you safe. Legal advocates can guide you through the paperwork without cost in many states. Having documentation from hospitals or police helps your case stay strong. Custody rulings always aim to protect the child’s best interest and the parent’s safety. If you fear court contact with the attacker, remote hearings can often be arranged. Protective orders may include schools and workplaces to prevent unwanted visits. Lawyers and nonprofits can ensure your voice is clearly heard in court. You never have to face your abuser again if the law supports your claim. Knowing your rights can make the legal process less intimidating. With persistence and proper support, justice and safety can be achieved. Every step you take strengthens your future independence and peace.
