Mercer County Domestic Battery Attorneys
Domestic abuse cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. If you or your children are being abused by a spouse, the other parent of your children, or someone you share a household with, you have rights. The Lawrenceville law firm of Markowitz Gravelle, LLP, offers powerful legal representation to victims of domestic abuse.
Seeking Restraining Orders for Victims of Domestic Violence
If you are the victim of domestic abuse, our law firm will go to work immediately to seek a temporary restraining order (TRO) against your abuser. A TRO can cover many different areas. First and foremost, a TRO will prevent your abuser from making contact with you at your home or where you work. The court may also bar your abuser from owning or carrying firearms. In addition, the court can order your abuser to pay child support and other forms of support as necessary.
Within 10 days of filing a TRO, the court will decide whether or not to issue a final restraining order. At this point, the court will decide if it is necessary to prolong the terms of the TRO. Our law firm can help you throughout the process, and will be dedicated to helping you seek full protection under the law.
Defending Spouses Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence
Our practice in this field extends to defending individuals who have been wrongly accused of abuse. In too many cases, one spouse or parent will make untrue or exaggerated allegations in an attempt to gain leverage in a child custody dispute. If a restraining order is entered against you, it will have major consequences. You may be barred from seeing your children, and could be forced to pay temporary child support and spousal support. Our lawyers can provide an aggressive defense against these allegations.
