Whether in the context of divorce proceedings, or any other circumstances involving domestic violence or related claims, our restraining order attorneys are focused on making the experience as easy as possible for you, while ensuring your safety, and the best possible outcomes for you and your family. Domestic violence is all too common, and a very serious matter. If you feel that you and/or a member of your family are in physical danger, the first thing we encourage you to do is to contact your local police. Once the police are present, you can ask for, and may be granted an immediate emergency restraining order, regardless of the day or time. If you are experiencing or have experienced abuse in the home, or on the part of a current or former spouse, partner, family member, or someone with whom you share a child, whether the abuse or threats relate to physical violence, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse, we encourage you to obtain experienced legal counsel to advise you of your rights and to pursue a domestic violence restraining order on your behalf. Once the restraining order is in place, the restrained individual can be arrested and face criminal charges for any violation, which can include attempting to contact you, or going near you or your children or other family members, or their places of work, school or residence, or owning or being in possession of a firearm. Restraining orders can result in a substantial loss of personal freedom and have real financial and personal consequences for a restrained person, including in some cases a mandatory change of residence, restriction from going to certain places, and loss of the right to own and carry firearms during the duration of an order. Penalties for violating a restraining order can include arrest, imprisonment and substantial fines. If you are facing a restraining order hearing, or have been accused of violating a restraining order, we encourage you to seek qualified counsel to advise you of your rights and to help you obtain the best possible outcome in a difficult situation.
