Addressing domestic violence accusations is often complex

On Behalf of | Apr 18, 2018 | Domestic Violence

Family law cases that involve accusations of domestic violence often bring two court systems together. On the family law side, you might have a divorce and child custody cases. On the criminal law side, you might have criminal charges for the accusations.

For the person who is facing the domestic violence accusations, life is going to be in an upheaval for a while. One thing that you have to think about is that these cases usually come with some restraining orders that will prevent you from living at home unless the alleged victim is the one who moves. This could pose an immediate issue for you.

Another thing to think about is that you might not be able to see your children in an unsupervised environment. This could have a negative impact on your parent-child relationship even if you didn’t harm the child at all. The court usually tries to err on the side of caution for the children so you have to take this into account when you are trying to determine how you are going to handle the case.
