Domestic violence can occur in many ways. Physical violence including shoving, pushing, slapping, choking or causing other bodily harm, is the most obvious form of domestic abuse. Verbal, emotional and psychological abuse including threats, intimidation and sexual harassment are also considered domestic violence. If you or your children are victims of domestic violence, one of our Family Law attorneys can help you obtain a temporary restraining order preventing any further abusive conduct. This often calls for the other party to vacate the home and terminate all contact. On the other hand, if you have been falsely accused of abuse, or are already under a temporary restraining order from a false abuse allegation, one of our Family Law attorneys can help you protect your rights by working to defeat the request for a restraining order or moving to address temporary orders. For assistance from an experienced domestic violence lawyer, contact Sullivan and Graber.
