Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence - HAIS, HAIS & GOLDBERGER, P.C.Domestic violence is a serious issue in domestic relations cases and can impact the course of litigation in almost any type of case, from dissolution of marriage cases to paternity cases or modifications.

 

For those who live under the threat of domestic violence, there are tools and legal resources available to help them out of this particularly difficult situation. A family member who has been the victim of domestic violence may seek an Order of Protection from the court. The court may order that the perpetrator not be allowed to have any contact with the victim, may remove the aggressor from the marital home and may take into account incidences of domestic violence in almost every aspect of a domestic relations proceeding, from how much spousal support to award, how to divide marital property or how to apportion child custody, depending on the particular circumstances.

Because of the stigma and steep consequences associated with domestic violence, there have been those who have made false allegations of domestic violence for the purpose of trying to strengthen their position during a legal proceeding. In these circumstances, having an attorney who is experienced in defending individuals facing accusations of domestic violence is critically important, as the outcome of such a proceeding can oftentimes have drastic legal, emotional and financial consequences.
