She holds a Stamp 4 on a De Facto Relationship basis, however she is not together with this guy anymore, because he is living in the UK, he comes here every year to renew her visa, as he did this month. When they were living together he gave her a dog as a gift. She is the only one taking care of it, he doesn't pay for anything (dog food, pet shop and etc.), and when he came this month he said that he wants the dog back, but obviously she doesn't want to give it to him.
Now we are getting to the bottom part. He was/is threatening her saying that he won't come to Ireland to renew her visa anymore and she'll have to leave the country. He was also threatening her with other things.
I wonder if she could go to a lawyer to accuse him of these threats. I just don't know what to do because they are not married, and also I don't know if there is any other type of visa where she could support herself, since she's been with her Stamp 4 for 3 years and working in a full time position.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
