In this work we explore whether, as a result of the enactment of the law on women’s access to life free from violence in 2007, there are changes in the search for violent marital relationships through the increased use of authorities or the separation of Mexican women. Based on data from the National Survey of Household Relations at two moments (Endireh 2006 and 2011), before and after that law, both the prevalence of these two options for ending marital violence and the factors associated with the occurrence of each of them, using logistic regression models, are calculated. There are no significant changes in the use of any of these exits to violence between 2006 and 2011.
