A Woman's Feeling of Danger in the Waiting Period

Question
A woman filed for divorce from her husband, who refuses to divorce her. However, if the court rules in her favor for divorce, where should she spend her waiting period, as her husband threatens to kill her and her children?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The original rule is that she should complete her waiting period in her home, but if she does not feel safe and there is temptation, it is permissible to move to a safe place, and God knows best.
