Domestic Violence Protection Orders is one are which ripe for abuse, and it is abused more often then not by the one of the parties when the divorce is imminent or has already begun or there is some other issue for which the party or the ex is using domestic violence allegation as a ploy to get the upper hand in the upcoming or existing litigation. This does not mean there are no true and rightful claims of domestic violence; there are many claims of DV that are genuine and deserve attention.
At Celebi Law we represent clients on both sides of the issue.
At the family court level, entry of an order of protection may have serious consequences to a parent's visitation rights with his/her children, or in his/her custody battle.
