Protective Orders
Sometimes during the course of a divorce, and often times at the beginning, it is necessary to seek protection from the Court and from local law enforcement because of domestic abuse or threats of abuse. In such a case, a protective order becomes necessary. In order to get a protective order, the following requirements must be met:
- Family violence has occurred; and
- Family violence is likely to occur in the future.
If the court finds that these two elements have been met, the court must enter a protective order which will apply only the person who committed family violence and may at its own discretion enter a protective order and apply it to both parties if it is in the best interest of the family or household. Anytime there is a threat of domestic violence or if domestic violence has occurred in the past, it is best to strongly consider obtaining a protective order. Courts, in the face of family violence, will likely err on the side of caution and enter a protective order. If you have been a party to family violence in the past and likely face it again, contact the experienced Conroe divorce attorneys at Garg & Associates today to schedule a consultation.
