Domestic abuse is a frightening fact of life for many people, and is often a contributing cause to the breakdown of many marriages. Unfortunately, initiating a separation or divorce process may not be enough to stop the threat posed by your abusive spouse, and very often has the opposite effect – the abuse escalates.

In extreme cases, such as where a spouse has made threats of physical violence against you or threatened to kidnap your children, you may be well-advised to seek a restraining order through family court, or an order of protection from a criminal court after engaging the assistance of local law enforcement.

A restraining order obtained in family court requires a person to desist from actions that may cause harm to another person. Violation of a restraining order is a serious matter with potentially heavy penalties. Depending on the gravity of the violation, fines and/or incarceration may be imposed against the offender. Even if there is no arrest, a police record of timely notice of restraining order violations may serve as powerful evidence in a family court civil proceeding such as a divorce trial or custody hearing.

If you are a victim of domestic abuse, or feel that you have been unfairly or frivolously served with a temporary restraining order and a scheduled hearing date is approaching, you may need legal advice on how best to protect your rights and remedies, as failure to prevail in such a situation may result in irreparable harm to yourself, your children, or if wrongfully accused, to your reputation.
