Allegations of domestic abuse are very serious and often result in a proceeding to determine whether it is appropriate for an Order for Protection to issue.

We Understand Domestic Abuse Law

Domestic abuse is defined as physical harm or the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm committed by a family or household member against a family or household member.

At Bloch and Whitehouse, P.A., we help people who have been accused of domestic violence as well as those who have been victimized by it. Domestic violence cases can involve:

• Child abuse
• Child endangerment
• Physical abuse
• Verbal abuse
• Spousal battery
• Domestic assault

An accusation of domestic abuse often results in a temporary "Order for Protection." This court order prohibits the accused from entering the home and having any contact with the accuser and, in some cases, the children. When a temporary order is granted, a subsequent evidentiary hearing is held to determine if an Order for Protection should be granted and how the issues of custody, parenting time and financial support should be addressed. An Order for Protection after an evidentiary hearing typically lasts for one year. Orders for Protection are serious and should be handled with care. Our attorneys give great care and attention to every domestic abuse case we handle.
