Roswell Domestic Violence Attorneys · Protecting You and Your Children
The temporary protective order is a civil legal order that forbids the person named in the order from coming near or attempting to contact you or your family. TPOs can be sought in cases of:
- Domestic assault
- Spousal abuse or other domestic abuse
- Stalking
- Harassment and intimidation
If that person violates the order, the police can arrest him or her, and that person can be charged with a felony. After filing for a TPO, a hearing will be scheduled within 30 days for the judge to decide if he or she will enter a long-term protective order. At this hearing, you must present your case in order to have the long-term protective order granted.
Our attorneys can assist you in obtaining a TPO. We can also represent you in the hearing for the long-term protective order so that you receive the maximum protection that the law provides. During the hearing for the long-term restraining order, our firm can provide representation designed to obtain the protection you and your family need. Our lawyers will also aim to protect your custody rights as the judge makes decisions regarding child custody and living arrangements.
Defending Against Protection Orders
During the divorce process and in child custody disputes, many people unfortunately seek to obtain an advantage by making false allegations of domestic violence. The criminal defense lawyers at the Newtonon Law Firm defend clients accused of battery and domestic violence in both civil and criminal hearings.
You have a basic right to see your children and participate in their lives. We will fight to protect those rights when your children's other parent has wrongfully and dishonestly accused you of hurting him or her, or your children.
