You could contact one of the local organizations in your area which offers assistance to "battered women".
Your local Department of Social Services may be able to provide the contact information if you cannot find it on the Internet.

The Domestic Violence Unit at the Superior Court of the District of Columbia is very helpful to victims of domestic violence. They will provide you with LOTS of resources, information, as well as legal assistance, including how to obtain a civil protection order if necessary. I suspect that they will also put you in contact with the proper authorities to assist you as well. They are open during normal business hours and are located on the 4th Floor at 500 Indiana Avenue, N.W. (Judiciary Square Metro - Red line is the closest). You can go there to get the information you need. I urge you to talk to them; they will be happy to talk to you personaly without a lawyer.
