If you or your children are being threatened or abused, we can assist you in procuring a restraining order or injunction against your spouse. A temporary restraining order (TRO) can be immediately issued and a subsequent hearing will make the restraining order permanent. The restraining order serves as an injunction, which typically orders your spouse to avoid contact with you. The terms of the injunction or restraining order will vary depending on your specific situation.
If your children are threatened or abused, a restraining order may be issued. In some cases, supervised visitation will be ordered. The order from the court will depend on the facts of each individual case.
You should discuss your options with an experienced family law and divorce lawyer. Schedule a no-obligation, confidential consultation by calling us at 972-712-6700 or filling out our online form. Put our attitude to work for you. Calls are answered 24/7 by us or our answering service.
Regardless of whether your spouse is alleging family violence against you in an attempt to gain an edge in a divorce proceeding, or whether your spouse genuinely feels threatened or harmed, allegations of family violence are very serious and a finding against you can have dire consequences.
We can assist you if you have been accused of family violence and an injunction or restraining order is being sought. If you have been served with a temporary restraining order and a hearing is scheduled, you should seek legal representation as soon as possible. You need to understand your options and the consequences you face.
If you have already retained a criminal defense attorney and you are involved in a divorce (or believe your spouse intends to file for divorce), you should consider retaining an experienced divorce lawyer to ensure your rights and legal interests are protected.
