DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OVERVIEW
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence occurs between intimate partners regardless of marriage, domestic partnership, dating, or cohabitation. Abuse comes in many forms so do not assume physical abuse is the only key to obtaining a restraining order in your case. Give us the details of your case so we can best provide you with your legal remedies to obtain relief.
Abuse or violence in any form is unacceptable. Domestic violence plagues generations of families. A perpetrator of domestic violence may sometimes have been a victim themselves. A victim of domestic violence may sometimes accept such behavior as normal – it is anything but normal.
Please allow us to ensure you obtain a temporary restraining order and fight on your behalf for a permanent restraining order. With that said, it not a far-fetched idea that some people will unfairly assert untruths about being a victim of domestic violence. Let us ensure the truth is heard to provide all the relevant facts are presented to the Court. It should be noted, in CA, the victim has a lot of protection under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA).

In fact, if a permanent restraining order is found, it can affect child custody, current and future employment, and many other rights.
