<prompt> Human: A few years ago my friend got with a guy with was verbally and physically abusive. He makes decent money. They had two children together but never got married. She had a few credit cards under her name and made a few thousand dollars worth of purchases to furnish the house he owned. Not the wisest move, but alas..A couple years in dealing with his abusiveness and she catches him cheating with other girls. She basically has to flee the house with a few items and their two children. He pretty much played hardball from there on out. Refused to let her get her property out of the house. Refused to pay for child support or ANY support for that matter. Refused to pay for half of the debt...A year later and she had to front rent and child costs on her credit cards to get away from him. She has approximately 20k in debt. She took him to small claims court and family court. Small claims ruled he doesnt owe for half of the purchases because they had no written agreement and werent married. He still has all her property. Family court orders him to pay child support yet he barely does. When they ruled it disqualified her for food stamps or other assistance because he is supposed to be paying her 1000 a month. He doesnt. Family court order says he has to let her get stuff out of his house. He refuses. All the while she is trying to make it to court dates and figure it all out while taking two small children with her. She is basically fried.Now I know what we have amounts to a series of poor decisions on her part with some asshole ex boyfriend sprinkled in. What is her best move? I dont think she can make it until her court situation gets properly settled. Bankruptcy? She cant even say how much her income is because he doesnt even make child support payments. Her family loves out of state and she cant afford child care to get a job.Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you  <response>: He doesnt. Family court order says he has to let her get stuff out of his house. He refuses.Maybe go to the police and have an officer come with to get the items
