Allegations of domestic abuse can have serious ramifications in regard to divorce and family law matters, including child custody and visitation, child support and alimony. If you have been accused of spousal abuse, DO NOT admit to the allegations without first talking with an attorney. There is a lot at stake, and talking without first understanding your rights and your options may prejudge your rights during divorce proceedings and custody determinations.

If you have been abused or are living in fear of abuse, we can help you obtain a restraining order or order of protection.

  • In New Jersey, once a restraining order or order of protection is granted, it is permanent and stays in place indefinitely until the plaintiff asks for removal or the court grants an application made by the party against whom the restraining order was entered against.
  • In New York, restraining orders and orders of protection are issued for set periods of time, usually six months to one year or more.

It is important to remember that domestic abuse is not just physical in nature, but can be psychological and emotional as well. We can help you if you have been accused of, or have been the victim of any of the following types of abuse:

  • Physical abuse, battering, and any other type of domestic assault
  • Intimidation and verbal abuse
  • Threats of violence made to you or your children
  • Stalking or harassment
  • Violations of restraining orders / orders of protection
