Protective Orders

Many times, emotions run high between a divorcing husband and wife, and things can get out of hand. While protective orders serve a purpose for individuals who feel threatened or have been the victims of violence, they are sometimes overused and abused in the court system. These orders are sometimes used to gain leverage in a divorce or custody battle and to remove the spouse and parent from the marital home.

If you are served with a temporary protective order, contact us immediately. There will quickly be a hearing at which we can advocate on your behalf or, better yet, negotiate a resolution without the need for a hearing. The objective will be to create an outcome which allows for essential contact between the spouses and permits parenting time with your children.
