An act of abuse may produce situations in which you need the help of a court to prevent physical harm to yourself or your children. That help is available by applying with the Clerk of the Court for an Injunction for Protection against Domestic Violence. An Injunction for Protection is the appropriate aid if you have a reasonable belief that an act of domestic violence is going to be committed against you, or if you have had an act of domestic violence already committed against you by a member of your family, someone you have lived with as if a family, or a person who is the parent of a child with you. If the person you are seeking relief from does not meet these requirements, you may seek an Injunction for Protection against Repeat Violence. The fear of domestic violence can arise due to threats, stalking, violent acts, or other behavior made by an abuser against you.
The attorneys at the Baird Law Group assist victims of domestic violence to present their case to the judge to make it very clear that the acts of domestic violence occurred, that the victim has a reasonable fear of further acts of domestic violence and that it is in the victim's best interest to obtain a domestic violence injunction to protect himself or herself. We handle domestic violence issues regarding:
- Victim protection
- Child support
- Child visitation
- Temporary child custody
