Is Your Child’s Safety At Risk In A Divorce Battle?
When children are involved in a divorce, emotions can run sky-high. Not only can a child’s mental health be at stake in a divorce, but also their physical well-being.
Having a divorce lawyer backing you is nothing short of imperative. We can fight for not only your rights but also those of your child or children, many of whom often are caught in the middle. We are highly experienced in all aspects of child custody. We also handle international custody cases where one parent has taken the kids abroad or threatened to do so.
Protect Your Children From Child Abuse
If you suspect that your soon-to-be ex-spouse or someone they are dating has abused one or more of your children, contact our lawyers for help. Make sure to gather:
- Any evidence showing your child or children was physically or mentally abused. This can include not only photos or video of bruises and scratches (see more below), but also any recorded statements from inside and outside the home, etc.
- Any statement from a doctor, psychologist, teacher, etc. indicating your child was mentally or physically harmed by your spouse.
- Any evidence indicating your child has been acting out against others in retaliation for being abused by a spouse. In some cases, the child will pick fights at school with classmates or talk back to adults.
- Any evidence pointing to the fact your child or children want nothing to do with the alleged abuser. They may be hesitant to go spend time with your spouse when it is his or her turn to have the children.
We can help you gather this evidence to build a strong case.
We Can Step In And Provide You With Options
We may be able to help you stay in your family home, especially if you have children. If you do not feel safe staying in the home, then we will seek a protection order. Do not allow yourself to be pressured into moving from your home or signing any documents a violent spouse may try to push you into.
