But remember, you cannot leave the state, if they are his kids, or in anyway legally responsible for them. Even with these safety plans, you aren't allowed to leave the state. MI does have a 100 mile clause.

As far as not filing a restraining order?! If there's been a beating and then some, and especially with police involvement, granted it's a legal paper, but it's designed for some sort of protection. To not do, so, because they'll get angrier? Documentation is key to leaving.

If you have time, establish your own credit and write letters to joint creditors saying you will no longer be responsible for his debt. Keep copies of everything.

Contact a local Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence - Atlanta, GA for an escape plan for you and your children.

Don't fault yourself ... and I would not file a restraining order, as this makes them even angrier and police are rarely around right when you need them.
