Domestic abuse comes in a variety of forms, which is why laws identify it as a separate category. Physical assaults are only one part of this transgression between loved ones. It may also manifest as one of the following:
- Economic abuse
- Emotional abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Psychological abuse
- Cyberstalking
- Stalking
- Neglect
- Threats of abuse
If your partner or spouse abuses you, you may obtain an order for protection, or OFP. This document prevents the other party from contacting you in a multitude of ways, from being within a certain distance of you and from harming you in any way. Orders for protection or a restraining order may also extend to your children. The other party may also face criminal charges, and you may want to file for divorce.
Sadly, it’s not unusual for domestic abuse to become an issue during divorce proceedings or in child custody matters. Emotions often run high under these circumstances, and it may become necessary for you to protect yourself. We also assist people seeking harassment restraining orders, or HROs.
