My husband turns violent whenever he drinks. It used to be just at the level of hurling insults, but starting a few years ago he even began swinging his fists, so we lived apart for a while. Each time, he would drink and come all the way to my parents' home where I was staying, confronting me and making a scene. But then, when he sobers up, he apologizes and clings to me every time, saying he does not want a divorce. I really cannot take it anymore. I am going to file a criminal complaint for domestic violence; can I receive personal protection?

It seems that you are considering requesting personal protection along with a criminal complaint for domestic violence.
In your case, you have already suffered a violent situation for several years, and it appears that personal protection is necessary due to the resulting anxiety and threat.
When you proceed with a criminal complaint for domestic violence, the victim can apply to the police for an emergency provisional measure.
If there is a concern that the domestic violence crime will recur and the situation is judged to be urgent, you can obtain a decision for a provisional measure.
Through this, the perpetrator becomes unable to approach within 100 meters of the victim.
In particular, even approach using telecommunications is prohibited, so you can be temporarily protected.
In addition, you can protect yourself by applying to the court for a victim protection order.
This protection order is an order that legally prohibits the perpetrator from approaching the victim.
Through this, the victim can legally secure their safety.
If, despite such measures, you still feel a threat to your safety, it is wise to receive a private security escort service.
A security escort service is a way to further strengthen the victim's safety, providing an additional safety net beyond police protection.
