Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Temporary Restraining Orders and Domestic Violence Hearings

 

At Pines Laurent, LLP, we are especially experienced in dealing with and litigating temporary restraining orders  (T.R.O.) and domestic violence issues, both for victims of such abuse and for those who may have been falsely accused of such abuse.  We have diligently and effectively both advocated for and assisted in defending against requests for domestic violence restraining orders (both temporary and for extended time periods) at hundreds of hearings and trials over the past many years.

Victims of Domestic Violence

If you are the victim of domestic violence and have children who are being exposed to such violence, it is imperative that you seek the assistance of attorneys who are not only familiar with this area of the law and how the Los Angeles court systems handles cases, but also with the devastating impact this behavior has upon your children. Children who are exposed to domestic batterers are at significantly increased risk of both physical and long-lasting psychological harm. Oftentimes, a vicious cycle develops whereby the  children of batterers grow up to become batterers themselves.  The cycle must be broken.  Batterers must learn to accept responsibility for their actions before they can appropriately parent their children.  

 

Allegations of Domestic Violence

If you have been falsely accused of perpetrating domestic violence in a family law court, you need immediate, experienced and aggressive representation from a family law attorney. If the court finds that you have committed domestic violence against your spouse or partner, you face the significant risk of losing the right to be awarded legal custody and/or physical custody of your children for years to come. Your access to your children may be limited to only expensive, supervised or monitored visitation. The court may order you to participate in a 52-week batterer’s intervention program, require drug and/or alcohol abuse counseling, and parenting classes. This may be as result of a court or private child custody evaluation.
