A history of domestic violence or an active injunction for protection can affect multiple aspects of a family law case simultaneously. In custody proceedings, evidence of domestic violence is a statutory factor the court must consider. A parent with a history of violence toward the other parent or toward the children faces a heightened burden when seeking parenting time or parental responsibility.
For clients in immediate danger, the injunction process provides temporary legal protection while the underlying family law case proceeds.
