Spousal abuse and domestic violence is not a singular issue that is always readily identifiable.
It can come in a variety of dangerous or threatening forms, including:
It is of utmost importance that you report domestic violence as soon as it happens. Authorities agree that hiding or staying silent when experiencing spousal abuse can make the situation worse, as it may only empower the abuser. Additionally, if your domestic violence case is brought to court, you must not hesitate to testify honestly against the offender. If a divorce is granted, the victim is usually awarded with more than half of shared properties, and child custody or spousal support claims are often rewarded to those who have been injured through domestic violence.
At Coontz Cochran, we take each domestic violence case extremely seriously, and we are honored to be able to serve those who need our help the most. Together, we can seek a fair ending to your marriage that keeps your best interests in mind. If you feel it is necessary, we can even assist you in filing for a restraining order against your abusive spouse.
