San Bernardino Domestic Violence Lawyer

Were you abused by your spouse?

Domestic abuse is a pervasive problem throughout countless households in America. If your family member, significant other or co-parent has threatened or assaulted you or someone you love, immediate retention of a San Bernardino family law attorney is absolutely critical. Not only are your rights in peril, but your physical safety and your family's safety are jeopardized as well. In order to protect yourself and your children from further abuse, we urge you to request a restraining order as soon as possible. The restraining order will prohibit any form of contact with the person whom it is levied against: he or she will not be allowed to contact you, to come to your home or to visit your children at school until the situation has been resolved.

When your request is reviewed, you will also be given the opportunity to establish temporary custody of your children as well as to solicit child support so that you are able to provide for them without appealing directly to the abuser. Any incidence of domestic violence, whether it was an isolated even or part of a larger pattern of abuse, can appreciably alter your child custody arrangement. Even if your children were unharmed, the court will not allow them to be in the custody of an abusive or violent individual.
