Orange County, California
Domestic violence is not just about husbands who physically abuse their wives. Women, wives, registered domestic partners, dating interests, extended family members, and others can all be guilty of domestic violence too. Likewise, violence does not necessarily mean physically hitting or hurting someone. Domestic violence may include emotional abuse, verbal threats, and even the act of harming the family pet in the presence of your children.
If you are being victimized by a domestic abuser, what you need to know is that things will not get better unless you take action to keep yourself and your children safe.
Protection for You, Your Family, and Your Future
At the Law Office Of Patricia A. Hendrickson & Associates, we represent victims of domestic abuse in the Orange County area and help them to start protecting themselves, their families, and their futures. Our experience in this area includes helping clients to obtain temporary (TROs) and long term restraining orders against spouses, former spouses, partners, and others.
If there has been abuse or violence in your home and you have children, it is especially important that you immediately seek to obtain a restraining order against your abuser. Failure to do so could result in California Child Protective Services (CPS) removing your children from the home altogether.
Defending Against False Accusations of Domestic Violence
Our practice also includes defending clients who have been falsely accused of domestic violence or child abuse by spouses who are simply trying to do whatever they can to gain the upper hand in a divorce or child custody battle. As experienced family law lawyers, we know firsthand how tremendously unfair the effects of this tactic are and we do whatever we can to protect our clients' rights in these cases and ensure that justice is achieved.
