Our Domestic Violence Department provides services to both victims of domestic violence and those accused of domestic violence. Domestic violence proceedings can affect divorce proceedings, including child custody matters, visitations issues, property distribution, and alimony. Our attorneys are familiar with these processes, including our Family Law Department, and can aggressively protect your rights.
If you or your family member has been the victim of domestic violence or threats from a spouse, former spouse, family member or other person with whom you have you have a relationship, you can obtain the protection of a restraining order. Domestic violence can consist of: physical abuse, battering, or any other type of domestic assault; intimidation and verbal abuse; threats of violence made to you or your children; stalking or harassment; and violations of restraining orders/orders of protection. .
If you have been accused of domestic violence, we can help you understand your rights and options, and how a domestic violence allegation or conviction can affect your rights during divorce proceedings, custody disputes, and criminal matters. A domestic violence finding also affects one’s job, profession, and precludes the individual of ever owning or possessing any weapons. .
If you have filed, plan to file, or think you may want to file a restraining order, or have had one filed against you, please contact the Domestic Violence lawyers at our firm to set up a consultation today at either our West Orange Office or our New Brunswick Office.
