We often hear that there is no perfect relationship or marriage. While this statement makes you feel more secure with your relationship or marital issues normalized, the reality is that some common issues are not healthy. And in some more serious situations, they can compromise the safety and life of a spouse or partner.
Domestic violence
Arguments and fights will happen; however, when they escalate into something damaging or physical, this could be a matter of domestic violence. This is understandably a difficult situation, making it challenging for some to take legal action.
There are legal steps available to ensure victims of domestic violence can safely leave a marriage or relationship. Additionally, if children are involved, a legal professional can ensure the proper legal steps are taken to avoid future harms.
At The Law Firm of Michael S. Rothmel, LLC, our attorneys understand the seriousness of these matters, which is why our law firm ensures our client’s needs and rights are protected. We know that these matters are emotional and sensitive, which is why we work delicately and diligently to ensure our clients and their family are protected from future harms.
Protective actions
Filing for a protective action can be a challenging decision to make. Often, this can cause a significant shift in your life; however, a restraining order or order for protection provides you with the safety you need.
The goal of a protective order is to protect the victim from an abusive spouse or significant other, preventing them from contacting them in person or communicate with them through any medium or platform. It allows you to live your life or care for your family without the immediate fear of physical, verbal, psychological or economical abuse.
Navigating domestic violence matters is anything but easy. It is an emotional and challenging process; however, it is a process you do not need to do alone. A legal professional can help explain your situation, options and rights, helping you take action to protect your rights and interests.
