Domestic Violence & Child Abuse

Domestic violence refers to patterns of abusive behavior by one partner towards another in an intimate relationship, often involving physical, emotional, or psychological harm. Child abuse encompasses various forms of mistreatment directed at a child, including physical harm, neglect, emotional abuse, or sexual exploitation. In family law, these issues are taken seriously and can lead to legal actions, including protective orders, custody disputes, and intervention by child protective services. The primary goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of victims, while addressing the needs of families and children affected by such violence.
