Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is any sort of assault—verbal, physical, or sexual—perpetrated by one member of a household against another. Domestic violence can occur between spouses or a parent and child. During divorce proceedings, it is not uncommon for allegations of domestic violence to arise.

Texas law enforcement takes domestic violence extremely seriously. It takes a great deal of courage for domestic violence victims to come forward, and any allegations are thoroughly investigated. If you or your child has suffered abuse at the hands of your spouse, it is critical that you take action as soon as possible. A good Arlington family lawyer can help you file a restraining order and develop a strong argument for you gaining sole custody.

Unfortunately, at our law office we also know that false allegations of domestic violence are all too common. Some lawyers with lesser standards even coach spouses and children to dream up instances of violence, ostensibly in order to gain the upper hand in custody trials. If your spouse has raised false domestic violence claims against you, it is equally critical that you defend yourself well. Not only could you stand to lose all contact with your children, but the stigma and consequences if you are convicted could haunt you for years to come. You need an Arlington family lawyer who is also skilled in the art of criminal defense.
