At Robert W. Hiatt, P.C. in Staten Island, New York, we advocate for those involved in abusive domestic relationships by filing restraining orders. Conversely, we defend clients falsely accused of spousal abuse and challenge orders of protection. Orders of Protection can be used as a shield and a sword.
Representing Plaintiffs and Defendants regarding Orders of Protection
No one should tolerate any level of abuse, be it physical or verbal. Conversely, no one should make false allegations of abuse against a spouse as a strategy in a divorce proceeding. At Robert W. Hiatt, P.C., we have represented both plaintiff and defendant in cases that involve an order of protection.
Protecting Clients from Domestic Abuse
If you are in an abusive domestic relationship, we can help you get out of it. Police action, combined with an Order of Protection, will get the abuser out of the house. An Order of Protection legally bars them from returning to the property or harassing you over the telephone. During the divorce process, issues may become contentious and that results in violent and threatening behavior. You do not have to tolerate it.
Fighting False Abuse Allegations Resulting in a Restraining Order
Many supposed victims use Orders of Protection to get their spouse kicked out of the house and embarrassed at their place of employment. That "strategy" is often used in child custody disputes to secure more time with the children or receive additional money in child support. The mere accusation of domestic abuse does not make it true. Aggressive defense is needed to help clients fighting an order of protection.
