Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is always serious, no matter what form it takes. Letting it continue unchallenged can be deadly. If you or your children are in a dangerous situation right now-call 911. Once your physical safety is no longer in jeopardy however, contact an attorney.

Defense against False Domestic Violence Charges

Out of animosity or a desire to get revenge, false accusations of spousal abuse or child abuse are not uncommon in divorce cases. Unfortunately, these he said/she said issues can often be decided in the wrong way by judges who have no choice but to take them seriously. Even more unfortunate is the fact that the resulting damage can be utterly and completely irreparable.

Obtaining a Restraining Order

If you feel threatened by an ex-spouse or boyfriend, you can have a temporary restraining order issued by going down to your local courthouse and signing an affidavit. The court will issue a temporary restraining order and the schedule a hearing in 10 days to determine if the restraining order needs to be permanent.

While a restraining order is not a cure-all for domestic violence, it does require an abuser or attacker to vacate your premises, avoid all contact with you and your family, and turn over any firearms he might own. Additionally, once a restraining order is in place, the person against whom it is issued can be picked up at any time if it is reported that he has violated the restraining order. Penalties for violating a restraining order can include jail, fines, electronic monitoring, and a permanent criminal record.
