Domestic Violence Lawyers Handle Restraining Orders

Domestic violence, harassment and high conflict can greatly complicate a family law case. In situations where a person does not feel safe being around a spouse, former spouse, former partner or anyone involved in a dating relationship, a restraining order may be sought or defended against with the help of an attorney.

A restraining order is issued by a court with a particular purpose and specific provisions, which depend on the situation. For example, a restraining order can forbid your spouse from calling or texting you or coming within 100 feet of your place of residence or that of your children.
