Protecting You and Your Children Against Domestic Violence
At the Bowie Law Office of Kari Fawcett, I understand the emotional, psychological and physical devastation of domestic violence. I also understand that many women, men, and children can suffer post-traumatic stress and Battered Spouse Syndrome, both of which can cause them to believe they are guilty or responsible for the abuse they have suffered.
You need to realize that you are not responsible for your spouse's actions. You deserve to be free from threat of harm from your significant other, or spouse.
My law firm can help protect you and your children from domestic violence. I have more than 20 years of experience helping clients rebuild their lives, free from harm.
Domestic Violence Protection Orders
Protection Orders can help you and your children in domestic violence situations. I can examine the facts of your case and file motions for:
- Orders of protection
- Restraining orders
- Child custody
- Visitation
- Wage garnishment
- Emergency family maintenance
- Removal of guns
- Protective order extensions
Two-Pronged Legal Approach
Domestic violence can tear families apart. I can provide you with resources and legal strategies to protect you and your children. As an attorney, I realize the best way to help you is through a two-pronged approach.
The first side deals with preparing your case. I can evaluate your situation from every angle to help determine immediate and effective solutions. I can begin gathering appropriate documentation to prove domestic abuse as grounds for divorce and may establish a precedent for child custody arrangements.
Domestic violence petitions are most often initially filed by the litigant. It is common for an attorney to be employed for the final protective order hearing. Proving domestic violence is difficult. Domestic violence usually occurs behind closed doors. To successfully prove abuse without witnesses who can share their personal observations, I will need to present effective and appropriate evidentiary materials, including medical records, X-rays and photos of injuries.
Immediate Protection - Immediate Relief
My practice understands that your domestic violence situation may place you and your children in immediate danger. You do not have the luxury of time. I can protect you from the moment you walk into my office. I can help provide immediate protection and relief from your spouse or significant other. Depending on the level of danger or threat, I can help you and your children:
- Go underground - or in hiding
- Get into a safe haven, such as A House of Ruth
- Sweep your car for GPS trackers
- Register at a hotel
