To speak with an experienced lawyer about your domestic violence case, contact our office today. Domestic Violence Restraining Orders are an important tool to protect you and your children. If you fear for the safety of your children or yourself, obtain a temporary restraining order immediately.
On a temporary basis a temporary restraining order can help diffuse the emotions that can erupt at the beginning of a divorce or separation. If needed, on a permanent basis, they protect you and your children until your spouse can obtain the help he/she needs to control their anger.
In order to obtain a restraining order, you will need to show evidence of abuse within the last 30 days. So if a situation arises, call the police immediately. The police are very helpful in assessing the seriousness of a situation and will often recommend that you file for a restraining order the next day.
