Seek Legal Protection from Domestic Violence

Are you being abused by a partner, including a spouse, roommate, or live-in companion? This abuse is known as domestic violence, and is an extremely serious matter. Not only is this abuse a criminal act, but it makes life extremely difficult for victims, including physical injuries and fear for further harm or even sometimes their own life.

• Some common forms of domestic violence include:
• Physical harm (pushing, shoving, hitting, punching, kicking)
• Emotional abuse
• Sexual assault
• Intimidation or threatening
• Stalking
• Withholding money

One of the most dangerous times in an abusive relationship is when the abused spouse makes the decision to leave the home, which means this is the most important time to seek protection both physically and legally.

Types of Protective Orders

It’s important that you choose the right type of order based on your situation, or your request may be denied. When you speak with an attorney from our firm, we will consider all of the facts of your case and advise you on the proper type of protection to file for in order to give you the best possible chance at a successful petition.

Once you have obtained a protective order, it is strongly advised that you seek to end your relationship, including filing for divorce to fully escape your abusive relationship permanently.
