This includes saving money, getting a cell phone, collecting mementos such as pictures, and gathering important documents such as identification, birth certificates, insurance information, etc. Be sure to have an extra set of car and house keys as well, in the event that your set is taken away. You are under no obligation to end it with your former partner, but if you choose to let him or her know that you are breaking it off, do so once you're far away and in a safe place. Never agree to see your partner again, even if he or she needs "closure" or fabricates any excuse to see you in person. Once you leave, set up a safety plan in the event of a confrontation. Change your habits in order to be less easy to track – changing routes to regular places such as work and home is one way of doing that. And finally, save any and all correspondence you receive. Emails, letters and voice mails can be helpful in court, should you choose to seek a restraining order – and you should.
