abstract="This article studies the relationship between a set of variables related to the legal process and women's disengagement from legal proceedings against their (ex)partners in Southern Spain. A total of 345 women answered a questionnaire. <br><br>RESULTS evidenced that request for a protection order (PO), granting such PO, imprisonment of the offender, and women's perception of who decided during the process were significantly related to disengagement (medium effect size). In addition, a logistic regression model was developed to predict disengagement with two variables: granting a PO and women's perception of who decided. <br><br>RESULTS are interpreted in terms of the necessity that the judicial system gives support, protects, and provides women with opportunities to participate in the recovery process.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
