Domestic Violence – Overview

Domestic violence is any physical or sexual abuse directed toward a family member or a person the abuser has an intimate relationship with, such as in a dating, cohabiting, or married relationship.

California takes the domestic violence problem seriously, and domestic violence accusations may result in devastating consequences, such as criminal charges, placement on the child abuse central index, restraining orders, and adverse results in a family law proceeding.

If you are accused or are the victim of domestic abuse, contact a Southern California family law lawyer to explain how this changes your pending family law case. If you are going through a divorce or legal separation, domestic violence charges may impact child custody and child visitation rights.

Even if you are not married, you may need help filing or defending against a restraining order. Consult with a Southern California family law attorney to advise you of your rights.
