Will the police escort me to my ex’s to get my stuff if things got violent and had to leave in a hurry?
We are common law married 4 years. He is moving in a week and will put my stuff on the curb if I don’t come alone to get it. He wants to “talk”. Actually he will try to sleep with me and when I don’t I know he will get violent again. He also texted me a photo of him and his new shotgun. Now he wants me to come alone and I’m scared.

You can certainly ask that the police escort you to collect your belongings. Explain the circumstances and see what they say. I might consider speaking with an attorney about filing for a restraining order or order of protection if you are that afraid. Once he is served then you can ask for an escort based upon same. If the police will not escort you then I would suggest that you ask for help from friends and relatives. But I would strongly suggest that you do not go alone to the apartment or house n which you lived. It is good it seems that you have moved on to a better life. Good luck to you.
