The police clamp down on these cases very severely now, not like years ago. I know, i was a battered wife for a number of years and i would of loved someone like yourself to come forward and offer a helping hand. I have to say that at one point my own mam believed him. So i hate THE EVIL BASTARDS. Be there for her, she is so lucky to have work mates like yourself. Point in the right direction, go to the police, and have him nailed.
Take care

 You don't say where you are but I know if you are in the states each county has a welfare or social services office or the like, and they have adult protective services to take care of problems like this. Contact them and they should be able to point you in the right direction. Doc.

I am currently studying family law at University and these are links to some websites which I hope will be useful to you. However I'm not sure from your status whether you are in the UK or not.http://www.refuge.org.uk - this is for if you are in the UK
or http://www.ndvh.org/help/fandf.html - if you are in the US
Hope these can give you some tips on what to do. I would advise you however to be patient and let her know you are there if she needs you, unfortunately there is not much more you can do.
