Child Abuse

Children caught in an abusive relationship may suffer more than just physical pain. They may endure serious mental and emotional trauma that will affect them for years to come. If your spouse is abusing your child, remove your child from the situation immediately. Failure to do so may compromise your legal relationship with your child. If you do not report an incident of child abuse, the court may order the revocation of your custody rights. Your child will be taken from you.

Defense Against a Restraining Order

Domestic violence is a very serious allegation that is taken seriously by state prosecutors. Unfortunately, men and women may be falsely accused of domestic abuse. If you have been served with a restraining order, you have the right to respond and defend yourself against your accuser’s claims. The court will schedule a hearing during which a judge will determine whether there is an actual basis for the order.
