Frequently Asked Questions
I am experiencing domestic violence. Do I have legal recourse?
Victims of domestic violence can pursuef various forms of legal protection, including restraining orders or protective orders, which legally prohibit the abuser from coming into contact with the victim. Depending on the jurisdiction, you may also be able to request orders that require the abuser to vacate a shared residence, prohibit harassment, and restrict the abuser's access to children.
Our family law lawyers can assist by guiding you through the process of obtaining a protective order, ensuring that all necessary legal documentation is accurately and promptly filed, and representing you in court hearings.
Can domestic violence impact child custody decisions?
Yes, courts take allegations of domestic violence very seriously when determining child custody arrangements. If one parent is found to have committed domestic violence, it can impact their ability to obtain custody or unsupervised parenting time rights, as the court's primary concern is the safety and well-being of the child. Judges may require supervised visitations or order specific safety measures to protect the child and the other parent.
Our lawyers can help by gathering evidence, presenting a strong case for your child's safety, and advocating for custody arrangements that prioritize the well-being of you and your children.
What should I do if I'm falsely accused of domestic violence?
False accusations of domestic violence can have serious legal and personal consequences. It's crucial to act quickly and responsibly by avoiding any contact with the accuser and seeking legal representation immediately. Documenting any interactions and gathering evidence that can support your defense, such as messages, emails, or witness statements, is also important.
Our family law attorneys can help address these accusations, protect your rights, and work towards a resolution that minimizes the impact on your life and your relationship with your children.
Are there any long-term legal measures I can take against my abuser?
Beyond immediate protective orders, victims of domestic violence can explore long-term legal measures such as filing for divorce or custody modifications if the abuser is a parent to your children. In some cases, pursuing criminal charges may be appropriate. Additionally, victims might seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering through civil lawsuits. Navigating these options requires a comprehensive legal strategy tailored to your specific situation and goals.
