Domestic Violence and Dissolution of Marriage
When allegations of domestic violence surface in a divorce case, the legal issues become much more complex. This is especially true when children are involved. When faced with these difficult matters, it is extremely important to retain the services of a lawyer who understands what is at stake and who can effectively safeguard your best interests in court.
At Jennings and Jennings, we provide aggressive representation that is carefully tailored to your situation. If you have been wrongfully accused of domestic violence, we will seek to avoid any negative impact on custody or visitation agreements. If you want to protect yourself or your children from an abusive parent, we will seek a restraining order or custody modification. No matter the situation, we are dedicated to helping you.
Should You Get a Restraining Order?
At Jennings and Jennings, we understand that domestic abuse, whether physical, verbal, emotional or psychological, is a very serious issue, and should be treated with both sensitivity and compassion. However, obtaining a restraining order (or protective order) may not be in the best interests of your family. Emotions can run high during arguments and actions or words can sometimes be misunderstood.
Our family law attorneys will thoroughly evaluate the situation and help determine the legal option that is most beneficial to you and your family. If a protective order is the best option, we will take immediate action to get you the security you need.
Please note: If you have been charged with domestic violence, we also provide experienced, effective and non-judgmental criminal defense services. We strive to protect your rights, your liberty and your reputation.
