Suffering From Domestic Violence? Know Your Rights

No person is entitled to be abused by anyone, including their family or spouse. People often misunderstand that abuse only deals with physical assault and sexual violence. However, emotional distress due to another person’s abusive act is also considered one of the cruel abuses a person can get.

Several other cases of abuse like unlawful imprisonment, torture, stalking, intervention in privacy are also punishable by law. Even if you find a friend struggling with domestic violence, you must wonder if there was a way to save them from such inappropriate and unlawful behavior from their spouse.

In the event of domestic violence, the victim has the right to seek legal help from the court. However, getting in touch with a New Jersey restraining order defense lawyer is recommended.

Here are the vital rights of a person who is suffering from domestic violence:

1. Request for temporary protection

Although you might have faced assault or abuse in some way or the other, you can still report it to the court to get a temporary restraining order which will be ordered at the first hearing. During the temporary restraining order, the defendant is not allowed to enter the petitioner’s premises for any reason.

During the temporary restraining order, if the petitioner feels that their child might suffer due to the defendant’s actions and behavior then the child custody can be changed temporarily by law. Additionally, if the petitioner is going through a financial crisis, even child support can be claimed from the defendant.

2. Legal help from an experienced attorney

Although the victim from an abusive relationship can directly approach the court without an attorney’s help, if the victim had sought an experienced attorney’s help, he could make the case favorable towards the victim by acknowledging the victim’s brutal condition to the judge and let the court make a fair decision depending on the seriousness of the condition. The court will lay down certain conditions for the defendant to follow apart from the order for protection, so the victim does not have to live in fear of the defendant.

An experienced attorney’s effective help can get the utmost protection from the defendant. So, even if you are not sure about filing a petition for protection, getting legal advice from an attorney is recommended so that they provide instructions on how to get out of domestic violence successfully or out of an abusive relationship along with a demonstration of the legal procedure in simple words.
