Domestic Violence & Child Custody
If you feel that you or your children’s safety is in jeopardy, it is critical that you also take the proper legal steps to request an emergency protective order or Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to avoid any further abuse, threatening behavior or communication. It can require the abuser to keep at least 100 yards away from you – enforceable by arrest.
The TRO may also be issued to grant you temporary custody, pending a court-ordered custody arrangement.
There are clearly many forms of domestic abuse. Men, women, and children are suffering each day from the terror and intimidation tactics of abusers.
