I have moved several times since I left my husband but he always seems to find me. How 
can I try and ensure he will not be able to find me?

You must keep as much information about yourself as discreet as possible. Tell only family 
and trusted friends and colleagues about your social, family and travel plans.

You may also need to remove your name and address from as many places as you can. 

These places may include:

apartment door buzzer
public library system
utility  companies
doctor and dentist offices
use a box number rather than address on documents such as driving license
credit cards
schools and universities
voters records
dry cleaners
cheques
