In New York, domestic violence or domestic abuse includes physical abuse, mental abuse, and emotional abuse. These are serious crimes and need to be solved professionally.Who can be involved in domestic abuse?
Domestic abuse is a family law issue, and sometimes a criminal law issue, involving anyone who is a family or household member. Domestic abuse is a serious situation and needs to be handled by somebody who is both knowledgeable and compassionate.
What can be done?
If you are a victim of domestic abuse, you can petition for a restraining order called an Order of Protection. An Order of Protection limits or prohibits contact. An Order of Protection can be temporary or permanent (typically up to two years, but can extend up to five years under certain circumstances).
What can be done to protect abused children?
Family offenses directed toward children can be addressed by the Family Courts (in addition to criminal courts) through court-ordered supervised visitation or through issuing an Order of Protection. Often, child abuse is considered a serious crime and consequences may include incarceration. You need an experienced lawyer with a solid background but is also compassionate to this very sensitive issue.
