Do I Have a Case for Domestic Violence?
If you or your children have been threatened with violence or have suffered abuse from a spouse, ex-spouse, domestic partner, dating partner, or someone you live with, you need to take action to protect yourself and your family. A petition for permanent protection – a Petition for Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence – can be filed.
These petitions have the power to:
- Assign temporary custody of your children to you
- Prohibit your abuser from contacting you at work, at home, via phone, email, or text
- Prohibit your abuser from coming within a specified distance of you
- Require your abuser to get court-ordered counseling
If your abuser violates the restrictions of the injunction, it becomes a criminal offense. In order to obtain such an injunction from the court, you will have to present evidence for your claims of domestic violence. Having an effective attorney at your side is essential in this matter.
In cases of immediate danger, a temporary emergency order may be obtained from the court for your protection. This order may also grant you temporary custody and additional protections. It is done only after the judge hears your side of the story. The temporary order will only be in effect until a hearing is held later.
Those Accused of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence accusations are often made when relationships break down, such as in divorce and custody disputes. They may be prompted by a desire to get the upper hand in a legal dispute, or they could be made out of jealousy, revenge, or spite and be composed of inflated assertions or actual lies to harm the accused. Turning to an attorney who can protect and defend you in such matters can make all the difference in how your case unfolds.

"Attorney Hamilton is very rational and caring at the same time."Attorney Hamilton provided me with professional, personalized, caring services and was there for me throughout the complexity of my case, which resulted in agreed-upon resolutions. I had the services of 2 other attorneys prior to obtaining the services of Attorney Hamilton. One Attorney for the original dissolution of my 30-year marriage, and another attorney to assist me with the court proceeding for the breaches to the terms of the marriage settlement agreement. Needless to say after 5 years, at times, it almost felt hopeless, until, I obtained the skilled, experienced, professional services of Attorney Hamilton. She was always supportive, focused and again I want to say professional as she represented me throughout this process. Attorney Hamilton is very rational and caring at the same time. What I have learned through this experience is that when it comes complex breaches in interpersonal relationships, no matter how knowledgeable you might think you are; the LAW is the only thing that matters, when it comes to the Family Law System. Attorney Hamilton knows the laws and when she enters a court of law on your behalf; the court system recognizes her knowledge of legal protocol on multiple levels. Attorney Hamilton is the best of the best. I'm forever thankful for her service- Breda

"She really fought for me."She helped me to get alimony after being married to an abusive man for 8 years. She didn't take any crap off of my ex or his attorney. She really fought for me. My alimony is only for 5 years but that is more than what other attorneys told me I could end up with. I am 38 and the other two attorneys I spoke with told me that I was young enough to get a job. I am very thankful for her and her hard work.- Elizabeth
