Handling Divorces That Involve Domestic Violence
If you are considering a divorce or are going through a divorce with a violent spouse, you will need a lawyer to gather evidence of the abuse, explore your options for protection, and advocate for your and your children’s rights. Although you do not need to prove domestic abuse to get a divorce, you will need substantial proof if you want to get full custody of your children, make sure that your spouse has only supervised visitation or press criminal charges against them. Your attorney can also petition the court for a restraining order against the abuser to keep them away from you and your children.
How Do Restraining Orders Work In Florida?
One option you have is to seek an injunction for protection, also called a restraining order. A restraining order is a court order that restricts the person accused of harming you from contacting, approaching or harassing you. In some circumstances, it can also require the respondent to attend counseling or surrender their firearms.
