If
you feel as though you need protection from an individual who you have a
close relationship with, or have been wrongfully accused of domestic violence, you need a lawyer who understands the law and will stand up
for your rights. At my law firm, I have the experience and knowledge
necessary to advocate for your best interest.
I am dedicated to helping clients who want to file or those who want to challenge restraining orders.
Domestic violence restraining orders are available to individuals who believe
they are being abused by someone with whom they have a close
relationship, including:
- Boyfriends, girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends
- Spouses or ex-spouses
- Parents, children, brothers, sisters, grandparents, grandchildren
- Cohabitants or former cohabitants
Domestic violence restraining orders may prevent contact between the parties in
any way, and may even require the accused to move out of his or her
home. The order may be issued for up to five years and thus may also
affect child custody and child support. For this reason, it is
imperative you seek legal counsel from an experienced attorney.
When
a restraining order is filed, it will likely be temporary until a
"permanent" order is made. You should seek legal help immediately. If
you do not seek legal counsel, a "permanent" restraining order may be
issued against you, which could last for up to five years. The Law
Office of Jayne Kelly Nordstrom will do everything within our power to
protect your rights and avoid a finding of domestic violence. We
understand what is at stake, and will work diligently to provide the
best defense and to ensure the repercussions are as minimal as possible.
California
restraining orders may also affect child custody and child support orders. It can limit the amount of time you spend with your children,
and you may be required to pay a significant amount of money in child
support and/or spousal support.
If
you do not have a lawyer, your rights will not be fully protected. We
have handled many cases where we have represented clients in defense
against an unwanted restraining order. We will work to ensure that your
rights are preserved and that custody and support impacts your situation
as minimally as possible.
