Domestic Violence and Divorce

It is quite common false allegations of domestic violence to arise during divorce or custody proceedings. Often, one spouse will accuse the other of domestic violence or abuse in an attempt to gain leverage in divorce-related legal proceedings. For example, one parent may allege that the other parent is abusive or violent by nature, thinking that by doing so, they will gain child custody. In other cases, one spouse may simply want to get revenge on the other by attempting to put the other spouse in jail.

No matter what circumstances apply, it is critical to get to get competent representation from an experienced domestic violence defense lawyer. Failing to do so can be very risky, as a conviction can result in consequences that can affect everything from your job to your child custody arrangement.
