Los Angeles Domestic Violence Lawyer
Protection from Abuse in Los Angeles
Domestic violence is considered the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse of a spouse, ex-spouse, child, parent, boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé or family member. This can include acts such as:
- Hitting, kicking, scratching
- Assault
- Sexual assault
- Battery
- Threatening violence
- Stalking
- Intimidation
- Rape
Many times during a divorce, there will be false accusations of domestic violence in an effort to influence the outcome of legal proceedings. In divorce cases involving children, a charge of domestic violence can result in the denial of custody and visitation rights. Domestic violence charges can also lead to other severe consequences for the accused, such as fines, jail time and restitution. Divorces can also be extremely emotional and result in arguments that escalate into physical violence. If you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, or are the victim of domestic violence, contact a
Los Angeles divorce attorney for prompt legal assistance. A skilled attorney can review your case, discuss the laws pertaining to your situation and give you useful advice regarding your legal options.
