Boston Area And Newton Attorneys For Domestic Violence Issues
Domestic violence is a serious, pervasive problem that affects people of all ages, across the full spectrum of cultural and economic circumstances. If you have been abused or you fear for the safety and well-being of children, there is no time to lose in seeking highly engaged, well-qualified legal counsel. The same is true if you are accused of any form of domestic violence.
Massachusetts law provides for the issuance of 209A protective orders — sometimes called abuse prevention orders or "restraining orders" — intended to stop, deter and prevent domestic violence. These are enforceable civil orders that may forbid contact with the accuser and certain other actions, independent of any criminal charges or penalties. At Simonds Family Law & Mediation, PLLC, our dedicated family lawyers respond quickly and effectively to all client concerns surrounding such orders.
Other options for issues relating to domestic violence include a Domestic Relations Protective Order (sometimes also called a DRPO) or a Motion to Vacate the Marital Home.
Do You Need To Seek A 209A Restraining Order? Facing Allegations That Threaten Your Relationships And Future?
People throughout the Boston metro area and surrounding communities turn to our Attorney Simonds for guidance and decisive legal action when, for example:
- Emergency, temporary and/or long-term orders of protection are necessary to protect against violence and abuse by an ex-spouse or intimate partner
- Allegations of domestic violence or abuse are raised by accusers who are preparing to file for divorce or initiate another potentially adversarial step such as a paternity action
It would be difficult to overstate the seriousness of your situation if you are living in fear of domestic violence or if allegations against you pose a threat to your position in divorce, your parental rights, access to your home or other priorities. Attorney Talia Simonds will assess all facts of your case and help you decide on the best way to proceed. Attorney Simonds can draw upon her experience at New York Family Court and Supreme Court, Integrated Domestic Violence Session in determining the appropriate course of action specific to your case.
If your matter escalates to criminal charges, Attorney Simonds has a network of criminal defense attorneys she collaborates with, when necessary, to protect her clients in the District Court and Superior Court.
