Divorce is difficult enough without any violence. If you are the victim of domestic violence you need to seek immediate help before you are overwhelmed. California law presumes that awarding custody of a child to a domestic violence perpetrator is not in the best interests of the child. You do not have to withstand the physical and emotional abuse from your spouse. It is especially detrimental to your children if they witness it. They may be scarred for life. Contact our office to see if we can obtain temporary possession of the family residence for you and the children. If you are the non-working spouse, the court may order the other spouse to pay the monthly expenses. There are also circumstances in which a victim of violence leaves the house without taking the children. If that is the case we will guide you so that the court does not factor the time of your absence against you in determining custody.
There are also cases in which your spouse tries to provoke you to gain an unfair advantage in the custody proceedings and in the divorce case in general. Contact our office so we can help you out of the bind even if criminal spousal battery charges have already been brought against you. We look forward to helping you with these delicate issues.
